SUMMARY:Gender Fluidity: A Modern Revolution in Today’s World
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Lee Zevy \nDescription: \nWe are currently experiencing a confusing destabilizing revolution of all aspects of sexuality and gender as evolving heterosexual and LGBTQI+ definitions\, meanings\, identities\, categories\, and behavior undergo dramatic changes. Although in many ways\, these changes are occurring worldwide\, each country and culture is determining how it integrates or tries to inhibit what is happening. \n\nIn many ways\, this process harkens back to other clinical revolutions\, like the advent of psychoanalysis and when Gestalt therapy and the other experiential therapies changed the relationality of the therapeutic environment. \n\nFor clinicians\, gender fluidity can be a confusing array of categories\, identifiers\, and meanings that have to be negotiated with each client. \n\nDuring this presentation\, I’ll ground the current evolution of gender fluidity historically and then focus on the ways it affects the field clinically. Exercises in breakout groups will allow participants to experience\, play with\, and discuss their relation to this unfolding process. Then we will re-form into the whole group to continue discussion and uncover emerging themes. \nBiography: \nLee Zevy is one of the founders of Identity House\, a walk-in peer counseling and psychotherapy community mental health center for the LGBTQI+ community in New York City\, which began in 1971. After completing her training at the New York Institute for Gestalt Therapy\, where she is now a fellow\, she became the clinical director of Identity House for many years and still does supervising and training there. In addition to becoming president of NYIGT twice\, she teaches\, supervises\, writes\, and publishes on the theory and practice of Gestalt therapy. Her current interest is how the fluidity of gender and sexuality today is moving to change the discourse of society around these topics.

SUMMARY:The Zen of Gestalt Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Olivier Winghart \nDescription: \nAutumn brings us a special time for contemplating impermanence\, and so I’m pleased to offer my presentation about Zen and Gestalt therapy this month. I plan to take up: \n\nThe importance of Zen and Taoism for the Gestalt therapy pioneers.\nThe parallels between Zen practice and Gestalt therapy practice for a therapist.\nA closer look at a few relevant sources (F. Perls\, J. Enright\, D. Price\, M. Epstein).\nInterpersonal meditation for individual therapy and couples therapy.\nThe differences in intention and perspective between Zen Buddhism and Gestalt therapy (including spiritual awakening\, the concept of self\, and the most precious gift to give a human being).\nInspiration from this quote: “Listening to the ongoing process\, and getting out of the way.”\n\nWe shall also explore the topic experientially in small groups. \nBiography: \nOlivier has been an associate member of the Institute since 2015 or 2016\, thanks to a suggestion by the late Sean Gaffney and practical help from Susan Gregory. \nHe has a diploma in engineering from École Centrale Paris\, and two Master of Science degrees – one in computer science (from UT Austin\, USA)\, and one in Gestalt psychotherapy (from the University of Derby\, UK). \nOlivier’s first career was in computer science and artificial intelligence\, and in the early 2000s\, he started to train in Gestalt therapy. He has maintained a private practice since 2008\, first in Stockholm\, Sweden\, then in Lyon\, France (individual and couples therapy). He also has translated six books related to Gestalt therapy from English into French. \nRegarding the topic of the presentation\, Olivier has maintained a regular Zen practice since 1987 and was ordained as a novice priest in 2020 in the Japanese Soto Zen School.
