Dr Lou Cozolino - a clinical psychologist, author and professor based in Beverly Hills, California. He received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from UCLA and an M.T.S. from Harvard University. He has been a Professor at Pepperdine since 1986 and lectures around the world on psychotherapy, neuroscience, trauma, and attachment. The work that I do for The Weekend University means I get to explore a wide range of topics, teachers, and practitioners who are at the forefront of the field of psychology. Every so often, I feel like I’ve “struck gold” after discovering someone and I would certainly put Dr Cozolino’s work into this category. In this interview, you’ll learn:
— Lou’s experience of being taught by Carl Rogers and what he learned from him
— The 4 common factors that underlie all effective forms of psychotherapy
— The importance of focusing on principles rather than techniques when educating yourself as a therapist
— Why human beings need psychotherapy
— The vital ‘half second’ and how this impacts every aspect of our experience
— The impact of early experiences on our development
— Core shame and why we experience it
— Neuroplasticity and why therapists should think of themselves as applied neuroscientists
— 3 books that Lou recommends every therapist should read
And more.

1 month ago
Working at Relational Depth in Psychotherapy - Prof. Mick Cooper
Mick is a Professor of Counselling Psychology at the University of Roehampton, a Chartered Psychologist, and an internationally recognised author, trainer, and consultant in the fields of humanistic, existential, and pluralistic therapies.
This is Mick’s sixth appearance at The Weekend University, and I can think of very few people on the planet that have both the breadth and depth of knowledge in counselling and psychotherapy as him.
This particular conversation focuses on his research into working at relational depth in counselling and psychotherapy.
Here are some of the key things you’ll learn:
— What relational depth is and why it’s critical for anyone working in the helping professions to be aware of
— Martin Buber, the difference between “I - It” and “I Thou” Modes of Relating and how Buber’s philosophy can enhance therapeutic work
— The biggest barriers to relational depth and how to avoid them
— The best practices for creating the conditions of relational depth with clients, and why you can’t force it
— Mick’s advice to his younger self before becoming a psychotherapist.
And more.
