The Absence of Presence

The Absence of Presence and the Presence of Absence: Psychotherapy with Relational Trauma Survivors of What Never Happened that Should Have

This webinar series with Dr. Ken Benau offers an in-depth exploration into the lasting effects of caregiver “absence” on the developing child, and later as adults in psychotherapy. Others have remarked that “neglect is often neglected” in developmental research. The same can be said of psychotherapy with survivors of early relational trauma and attachment wounding. This course will highlight some of the subtler, chronic consequences of what never happened that should have, including the need to be seen, felt, known, and even celebrated for who we are.

What to Expect

Understand the Research: Take a deep dive into the developmental research on early relational absence and explore some clinical applications of that research

Explore Cases In-Depth: Review four clinical case presentations, describing how Dr. Benau identified and worked therapeutically with the chronic effects of absence

Improve Clinical Work: Learn to identify how early developmental absence makes its presence known in adult psychotherapy, and consider different ways of working effectively with these phenomena.
