This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences. Knots - between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Bárbara Godoy “As a starting point to this series of dialogues on insanity; I wanted to return to R. D. Laings brilliant book which was originally published in 1970. Knots consists of a series of dialogue-scenarios that can be read as poems or brief plays, each demonstrating the intricacies and insanities of human relationships. I would like to expand on Laings insights by exploring the professional relationship between therapist and client as yet another human relationship that, while constantly expanding (and expounding on) its intricacies, might do well to pay more attention to its accompanying insanities.” Prof. Ernesto Spinelli.

Description Behavioural Economics Diploma Introducing the Behavioural Economics Diploma, a comprehensive online course designed to provide learners with a deep understanding of the intricate world of behavioural economics. This course not only aims to introduce fundamental concepts but also offers insights into how these concepts play a pivotal role in the decision-making processes in real-world scenarios. Behavioural Economics, at its core, is the study of how psychological, social, cognitive, and emotional factors influence the economic decisions of individuals and institutions. With the rise of the digital age and increased interconnectivity, understanding human behaviour is more crucial than ever. The Behavioural Economics Diploma provides a platform for learners to grasp these concepts from the comfort of their homes. The course starts with an 'Introduction to Behavioural Economics'. This module sets the stage by detailing the foundations of this field, preparing learners for the in-depth content that follows. This is the first step towards understanding why people often make irrational decisions, even when they have all the necessary information at hand. Next, learners will explore 'Heuristics and Biases', which delves into the shortcuts our brains take when making decisions. These shortcuts might often lead to errors, but understanding them can be the key to predicting certain behaviours. The module on 'Prospect Theory and Loss Aversion' presents the idea that losses usually have a more substantial emotional impact on people than gains. This is pivotal in understanding many financial decisions and predicting market behaviours. 'Time Inconsistency and Present Bias' highlights how people might value immediate rewards more than future ones, even if the latter is more significant. This bias is often evident in our daily lives, be it in our spending habits, savings, or even in our diet and exercise regimes. 'Social Preferences' focuses on how individuals' decisions are influenced by societal norms, peer pressure, and the behaviours of those around them. In a world where social media plays a significant role, this module is especially relevant. Through the 'Bounded Rationality' section, learners will understand that people have limits to their thinking and that they can't always make the most rational decisions because of these limitations. 'Nudges and Choice Architecture' shows how small changes in the way choices are presented can significantly influence the decisions people make. This module is especially relevant for those interested in marketing or policy-making. For those keen on understanding the financial market's behavioural aspects, 'Financial Behaviour and Behavioural Finance' provides insights into why and how the market often behaves irrationally. One of the course's most practical modules, 'Behavioural Insights in Public Policy', demonstrates how understanding behavioural economics can lead to better policy-making, benefiting societies at large. Lastly, 'The Future of Behavioural Economics' offers a glimpse into the exciting possibilities this field holds, its potential growth areas, and how it might shape the world in the coming years. In summary, the Behavioural Economics Diploma is not just another online course. It is a journey into understanding human behaviour, making it a valuable asset for those in marketing, finance, policy-making, or anyone keen on understanding the dynamics of decision-making. Enrolling in this course is a step towards mastering the art and science of predicting, influencing, and understanding decisions in an increasingly complex world.

Sanity is privileged over insanity, which is stigmatized. A therapoet views differences without hierarchy, valuing each unique expression. We aim to explore the lived experiences on irregular perceptions of reality with an open mind. Each Saturday includes: a live dialogue between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and an International Existential Therapist; a moment to share your thoughts and feelings with the teachers; and a final integration facilitated by Bárbara Godoy. This series of ten dialogues set out to explore the multifaceted dimentions and complexities associated with Existential Therapies. It attempts to engage with various interpretations of insanity through the lens of patients often painful, confounding, and deeply unsettling life experiences. Difference - between Prof. Ernesto Spinelli and Dr. Todd DuBose "Sanity and insanity have been situated in relation to each other on a hierarchical scale that privileges sanity over, beyond, above, and more than its “less than” subjugated copy, insanity. Framed in this way, insanity can only be stigmatized, devalued and pathologized, while sanity is that to which we are to strive, uphold, and genuflect. The therapoet as a phenomenological hermeneutic horizontalizes a spectrum of “sayings of suffering souls”, or “befallings”, which is the originally meaning of “symptom”, not as a pathogen to be excised. Countering supremacist hierarchies of sanity/insanity, or health/illness, the therapoet sees difference, not as deficient, but just different, anew, and not in relation to any centric norm, but just to other differences. The relation to other differences is a relative gradation, whose incomparability resists any kind of nothing-but-ism any more than a fish can be said to be nothing but a squirrel with fins, or dirt as nothing but dry water. The therapoet, therefore, attends to each showing or saying of the suffering soul, sufficient in itself, as it is, in its own way of presencing, by being with it, letting it be, without why.” Dr. Todd DuBose. Dr. Todd DuBose is a world-renowned, Distinguished Full Professor at The Chicago School’s College of Professional Psychology. He teaches philosophical foundations of practices of care, ethics, loss and mourning, psychology and spirituality, psychopathology, among other courses, all from a human science perspective, and with a particular focus on therapoetic care. He is a licensed psychologist, supervisor, consultant, and former chaplain, with over thirty-five years of experience. He holds degrees in continental and comparative philosophy of religion and existential-hermeneutical-phenomenological human science clinical psychology and integrates these approaches as a way of caring for such experiences as the impossible (no way out, boundary or limited situations), extreme experiences (such as psychosis, nihilism, suicidal and homicidal ideation), and the taboo (the places no one wants to go: the unwanted and unacceptable, unsayable, unforgiveable, forbidden, and irreverent). He regularly presents workshops in several international venues such as the Circulo de Estudios en Psicoterapia Existential, in Mexico City, Mexico, the Zhi Mian International Institute of Existential-Humanistic Psychology in Dali, China, and the Centre for Existential Practice in Melbourne, Australia. He is widely published and has written on caring for others in very difficult situations including traumatic loss, surviving the COVID-19 pandemic, and meaninglessness. He has also written a short dialogue with Miles Groth, edited by Loray Daws, called, Dialogues on The Soul of Existential Therapy, published by The Society for Existential Analysis. Most of all, he considers himself simply a fellow human being. Prof. Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis between 1993 and 1999 and is a Life Member of the Society. His writings, lectures and seminars focus on the application of existential phenomenology to the arenas of therapy, supervision, psychology, and executive coaching.
