Self, Ego and Suicide
The meaning underlying an act of suicide makes it an extraodinarily complex moment. Its antecedents stretch across generations and communities. Suicide defies explanation. Whilst trying to hold this in mind, this paper is a circumscribed exploration following the deaths of several patients who ended their lives by suicide in the course of psychiatric care and Jungian Analytic therapy.
2021 Assessment Skills Training
Clinical services assessment skills training.
Group discussion, reading lists provided, assessment consultation offered to a patient by participants of the training, individual supervision pre and post consultation, writing a consultation report that includes a formulation.
Reading in Contexts: A Creative Approach to Critical Reading
A series of 4 seminars for those who would like to develop their engagement with analytic theory. The seminars are designed to be of interest to all members and trainees who would like to develop their skills in discussing, teaching, and writing about contemporary Jungian and psychoanalytic theory and practice.
The aim is to allow ourselves to engage with ideas beyond the purely personal, and to invite more of the world we live in into our reflections. Knowledge of any kind is always a meeting between self and not-self. Having a sense of historical and philosophical context gives unity and system to the analytic body of knowledge and helps us examine critically the grounds of our convictions, prejudices and beliefs.
Wessex Event: Disruptions in Mother and Baby Relationships
Drawing on the Channel 4 documentary 'Help Me Love My Baby', filmed at the Anna Freud Centre, this event will explore the impact of the experience of earlier traumas upon the relationship of mother and baby and the effect on mother, baby, and on the infant’s later development.

Endings and Beginnings - A view to retirement for Psychotherapists
Endings and Beginnings - A view to retirement for Psychotherapists
The decision to retire is complex and, in our profession, ideally requires several years of planning although, for various reasons, some may have to retire at shorter notice than anticipated. Retirement can be a lonely process, it is a time of change but, positively brings with it the potential for new opportunities, doing things there has never been time for. The aim of the evening is to offer members planning or beginning to think about retirement, and also retired members, a space to reflect on and share their experiences, personal and professional.
Infant Observation Today
An exciting conference on Zoom for all psychotherapist, counsellors, and everyone who is interested in babies and children, and how their earliest relationships develop, the mind-body relationship, non-verbal communication, and the unfolding of the self.
