p34, PSYCHOTHERAPY IN AUSTRALIA VOL 9 NO 3 MAY 2003
C O N F E R E N C E S
The behind-the-scenes work of conference organisation is considerable and often involves a solid two-year commitment in planning and preparation time. Two years in the making, and all over in a matter of days... perhaps we need a new literature on debriefing for conference organisers. Few people can know the work, though, planning and time invested in the two excellent conferences that Psychoz Publications attended in March and April this year.
Over 200 people attended the 'Breaking barriers, Building Bonds', 6th Pacific Rim Congress of Group Psychotherapy & 3rd Asia Pacific Conference on Psychotherapy, in Singapore, 12th-15th March 2003. The three day program, with pre and post congress workshop, was organised by the International Association For Group Psychotherapy, The International Federation of psychotherapy, the Asia Pacific Association of Psychotherapy and the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (Singapore). Dr. Douglas Kong, a Singapore based psychiatrist, was one of the prime organizing forces in this event. A good-humoured and welcoming man, he and his committee did an excellent job. Unfortunately, the impending war in Iraq and terrorism warnings had a considerable impact on the number of delegates. In fact, the war began a few days after the conference concluded.
Attending overseas conferences is not something many of us have the opportunity to do. The costs and logistics can get in the way, but if you get the chance it is a great opportunity, not just for the travel moments. Apart form the face that Singapore is a beautiful city, the conference program was full of interesting possibilities that you may not find in a conference program at home.
What distinguished this conference were the sessions that integrated Eastern philosophy with Western approaches to psychotherapy, for instance, 'A Literature Study of the Dream in Oriental Medicine'. It appears that the Asian community, has only vegun in recent years to embrace the practice of psychotherapy and counselling in the provision of general health care services. However, when you reflect on the rich and ancient traditions of Eastern wisdom they have such a solid foundation for this work.
The Korean Academy of Psychotherapists presented a number of sessions on what they call 'Tao Psychotherapy' - a blending of the Eastern Tao and Western Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Of particular interest was a session presented by Dr Shim Sang-Ho entitled 'A Psychotherapeutic Understanding of the Kuo-an's Ten-Oxen-Pictures', in which the Zen path is compared to the process of psychotherapy. Beginning in the 11th century, sets of ox-herding pictures were drawn in China, depicting the Zen path to its full completion. The Kuo-an is one of the surviving sets.
The ten pictures take the viewer through a process beginning with the ox-herder 'Looking for the Ox', representing the Zen practitioners mind. The corresponding stage in psychotherapy is when the patient sets out to find the cause of his sufferings within himself, rather than blaming others. In the second picture, 'Seeing the Tracks', the ox-herder finds hoofprints of the ox (the ox is not yet seen, but the herder is confident he can find the ox) - the patient achieves intellectual insight into his problems. The third picture, 'Glimpsing the Ox', shows the herder getting a glimpse of the ox for the first time (he now knows the ox by personal experience rather than concept) - the patient recognises his repressed emotion as the cause of his problems. In the fourth picture, 'Getting hold of the Ox', the ox-herder can keep a firm hold of the ox-the patient can maintain their awareness of 'Nuclear feelings' vivdly without repressing them. In the fifth picture, 'Herding the Ox', the wild ox is tamed and changes from black to white - the long working through phase of psychotherapy where negative emotions dissolve, positive feelings grow and new constructive behaviour patterns emerge. In the sixth picture 'Riding the Ox Home', the ox-herder is playing flute and riding home on the ox-the stage in psychotherapy where one has almost worked through their 'Nuclear Feelings'. In the seventh picture 'The Ox is Forgotten, but the Oxherder is Still Present', there is no ox and the herder has a rest at his home - no vexations to tame and no enlightenment to cultivate - the level of the highly matured person. In the eighth picture, 'Herder and Ox Both Forgotten' there is no ox-herder nor ox -
the practitioner has no attachment. This is where we see Eastern tradition overtake the boundaries of Western psychotherapy. In the ninth picture, 'Reverting to the Origin and Returning to the Source', there is no ox-herder and no ox, just mountains, flowers and streams. Everything reveals itself as it is. In psychoterapy this is when reality is perceived as it truly is, when we no longer project our unconscious feelings onto the outer world. In the tenth and final picture, 'Entering the Marketplace with Open Hands', an old man enters the marketplace - the practitioner has become a Bodhisattva, an ideal psychotherapist.
