Presentations ISBP Conference 2013

This intensive and effective form of group psychotherapy was developed by psychiatrist Daniel Casriel. The essential element of this therapy is the experience of bonding.

Every human being has a need for intimacy, emotional contact and loving attention.Casriel referred to the experience of emotional openness together with physical contact as bonding. This is an important condition for the development of a safe attachment in young children. If this basic need is not met, a fear of emotional and physical closeness and a fear of separation can be the result. Also destructive attitudes can develop such as: not feeling good enough, not needing anyone, and even not having the right to exist. This, in turn, can lead to relationship problems, depression, physical problems and avoidance behaviour such as alcohol abuse, drugs abuse and many other forms of addiction.

Daniel Casriel, who was trained as a psycho-analyst, developed this intensive form of group psychotherapy in the Seventies in his own practice in New York. He trained therapists from many countries. The method has spread from the U.S.A to Sweden, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia, France, Switzerland and Argentina. Bonding has been particularly well received in Germany, where over sixty therapists who completed their training in this method.

Dr. Konrad Stauss improved the theoretical concepts of the method relating them to the theory of attachment.

In the workshop the basic elements of the theory behind the method will be explained.

A movie will be shown of a group session showing the practice of this therapy.
