Description

In this special session, Dan Siegel will launch his new book, which delves deep into the integration of interpersonal neurobiology and the Enneagram of Personality. Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to hear Siegel introduce this groundbreaking work and discuss its innovative concepts. This presentation not only offers valuable professional insights but also celebrates the unveiling of his latest contribution to the field of psychotherapy.

 

Personality and Wholeness in Psychotherapy integrates the cutting-edge perspective of interpersonal neurobiology with the time-honored wisdom of the Enneagram of Personality. This innovative framework introduces a lifespan developmental personality model consisting of nine distinct strategies that individuals use to comprehend and manage their experiences and interactions with the world. These strategies, known as the nine Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDPs), offer profound insights into human behavior and coping mechanisms.

 

The presentation offers mental health practitioners both a robust theoretical understanding of PDPs and practical tools for their implementation in clinical settings. Attendees will gain in-depth knowledge of the nine core personality patterns, each accompanied by specific integrative practices designed to facilitate client progress toward well-being and wholeness. By applying these strategies, clinicians can help clients navigate and transform problematic and perplexing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

 

Through detailed descriptions and real-world examples, this session will demonstrate how embracing the PDP framework can unlock deep and lasting changes in clients. The potential to shift personality dynamics from a constricted ‘prison’ to an expansive ‘playground’ will be highlighted, showcasing the transformative power of this approach. Participants will leave equipped with actionable insights and strategies to enhance their therapeutic practice and support clients on their journey toward holistic health and resilience.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Summarize the interplay of temperament and attachment in the development of personality and human flourishing.

  • Identify and describe the nine Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDPs) that help illuminate distinct growth-edges for lifelong development.

  • Explain how an individual’s insights into their own PDP and those of others can give powerful avenues for understanding life journeys and personal relationships and the many ways we can be at risk of burnout and stress.

  • Outline nine patterns of personality and how these emerge from early temperament and are intensified by non-secure attachment experience.
