Dr Judith Pickering
Talk: Transformation in Love
Falling in love: a state of madness or beatitude? The path
of love takes
many pathological and obsessive forms, but it may also be a
journey of
transformation. The quest for love remains both one of the
most consistent yet mysterious forces of destiny in our
lives.
This talk explores the idea of love as a path of
transformation into discovering our deepest selves. To
embrace love fully is to confront the whole gamut of
ultimate questions: eternity, mortality, self and other,
identity, limitation, delusion and illusion, projection,
disillusionment, union and difference, mind-body relations,
pleasure and pain, the sublime and the mundane.
Dr. Judith
Pickering is a Jungian Analyst and Psychoanalytic Couples
Psychotherapist in private practice in Sydney. She is a
member of ANZAP, ANZSJA and IAAP (International Association
of Analytical Psychology) and on the teaching faculty of

Dr Stephen Malloch
Talk: The therapeutic relationship and the
caregiver-infant relationship - the importance of being
present
Dr Stephen Malloch trained in performance and musicology at
the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, leading to an MMus at
the University of London and a PhD in music analysis and
acoustics at the University of Edinburgh.
As a Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology at the
University of
Edinburgh, and then at MARCS Auditory Laboratories,
University of Western Sydney, his research has concentrated
on what he calls the Communicative Musicality of human
non-linguistic interaction.
The model of communicative musicality presents the
characteristics of infant-focussed communication as having
particular pulse, quality and narrative.
In this presentation he suggests that the pulse, quality and
narrative structures that underlie the adult-adult
therapeutic relationship carry the information that conveys
the degree of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive
regard, features that Carl Rogers considered central to a
therapeutic relationship.
