Please join us for a talk by Rebecca Greenslade: “Existential Psychotherapy as Liberatory Practice.”
Friday, October 18, 3:00 pm
O’Dea Room, Lombardo Student Center
Drawing upon an existential analysis of oppression and critical phenomenology, this talk will challenge existential psychotherapy’s continued apoliticism, asking how existential psychotherapists might re-orientate their therapeutic commitments towards a liberatory existential therapeutic project that is concerned with both individual and social transformations, and by extension, critiques the practice of psychotherapy itself.
Rebecca Greenslade is the founder of the Gaia Therapy Project in East London and the founder of the Feminist Therapy Network. Rebecca’s writings explore the interstices between embodied philosophy, psychotherapy, spirituality, and liberatory feminisms and she is currently undertaking PhD research with the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck, University of London that considers how a spiritualised feminist psychotherapeutics can intervene in contemporary modes of alienation.
This event is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies program and the Philosophy Department.
