Dr. Jane Bolton writes a blog for PsychologyToday.com,Your Zesty Self
Dr. Jane Bolton, PsyD, LMFT, CC, has both personal and professional reasons for being an expert in self-esteem. Born with the gift of being an "unwanted" child to a depressed mother and an enraged father, she has the joy of learning and earning her own high self-esteem.
Professionally, she has spent 16 years working to help other people love themselves more fully. She is a marriage and family therapist, a certified contemporary psychoanalyst and Master Results Coach in Culver City, Califo ia. A supervising and training psychoanalyst and adjunct professor at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Santa Monica, she also supervises psychotherapists for Los Angeles counseling agencies, and gives empowerment workshops to enhance Self-Esteem.
Her mission is to support all people in the highest and fullest expression of their Real Selves. This involves supporting Self Discovery, Self Awareness, Self Acceptance, Self Understanding, Self Growth and Development, Self Expression, Self Esteem and Self Expansion. In short, she helps people love themselves more fully so that they can love others more fully too.She carries out her mission by providing Psychotherapy, by giving Supervision and In-Service Trainings to psychotherapists, and giving Workshops and Presentations.
Intersubjectivity is a subject dear to her heart & her doctoral paper is based upon the treatment of a woman suffering from what Intersubjectivity Systems theorists call the "fundamental psychic conflict." This conflict often occurs for people whose early caretakers were unable to meet the child's needs, resulting in the dynamic of the child learn to meet the caretakers' needs. Adult children of Alcoholics, so called, "co-dependents", adult children of narcissists, and therapists, are some populations whose lives can be truncated by this basic conflict - and who can be helped enormously by psychoanalysis.
