We are all rightfully proud of our trainings in SE. They are thorough and prepare us well for practice. For professionals who need to explicate their clinical model or refer clients to other models, it's also good to know how our model fits in the larger frame of existing clinical approaches. This short talk will attempt to position SE within that larger frame and compare basic theories and practices
About the Workshop Leader: Mark Ludwig’s original academic training at UC Berkeley was in psychodynamic Clinical Social Work. The program was informed by a holistic model (bio-psycho-social) and continues to inform Mark’s practice and thinking as a Somatic Psychotherapist. Mark’s somatic psychotherapy training began in the mid 70’s at the Radix Institute, a neo-reichian training center that certified through a vigorous three-year training, and then continued in Switzerland in the early 80’s with David Boadella and an additional certification in Somatic Psychotherapy-Biosynthesis.
Mark Ludwig continued training and development with a series of depth trainings in early development within the parent-infant mental health model (Fellow in the Harvard Children’s Hospital-Napa County Department of Health Infant-Parent Program 2002-03). Mark studied interpersonal neuropsychology in the Allan Schore Study Group in Berkeley (2004-2012) and attachment theory applications to adult therapy in Mark’straining with Diana Fosha and her AEDP faculty (2006-08). Mark Ludwig completed the three-year training in Somatic Experiencing trauma and is Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Mark completed a one-year training in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics a developmental trauma model designed by Bruce Perry MD.
Mark has been an international trainer (Western and Southern Europe, Australia, North and South America) in both schools of Somatic Psychotherapy from which he graduated and have served as core faculty and, at times, Program Director at the two San Francisco Bay Area universities with Somatic Psychology MA programs (JFK University and the California Institute for Integral Studies).
