Presentation with Coretta Ogbuagu – Clinical Discussion

bpf members will need to login to register for this event. 

If you are an IPCAPA alumni, but not a current bpf member, please email [email protected] to be added to the registration list for this event.

This online session, open to all bpf members and trainees, and to IPCAPA alumni, will look at a case study of a parent and their child who were in parent-infant psychotherapy treatment. The suggestion is that the wider system around the family had significant bearing on how the dyad related to one another.

Reflections on how the therapist considers the impact of systemic racism as part of the context for the work will be shared. Examination of the dyad’s relationship to the therapist (also working as part of an institution) will also be considered. There will be some video material shown with permission from the patient.

Coretta Ogbuagu is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, Parent-Infant Psychotherapist and Clinical Team Lead in an NHS CAMHS in East London. She has a special interest in working with 0-5 year olds and their parents and carers. She is also especially interested in the experiences of families in the UK who are not white and their experiences of services set up to support them.
