3 Jung Forum CPD Workshops for BJAA Graduates: Working with Trainees: in therapy, supervision and clinical seminars

These workshops are for BJAA Graduates only. Please log in to register. 

 

These workshops are for BJAA Graduates looking to play, or who are already playing, the roles of Approved Therapist/Supervisor, Training Analyst/Supervisor and/or Clinical Seminar Leader.  There will be brief in-put, with peer discussion and some flexibility about what may be covered.  Here are some key themes:

 

• What impact will the new ethos, structure and emphasis of the training have on training therapies, supervisions and clinical seminars?
• What are the challenges to boundaries and the frame for therapies and supervision within training?
• Supervising and being supervised: how do we present material in supervisions and clinical seminars? 
• What is the range of current practice?
• Working with verbatim transcripts and with more associative methods.
• What goes wrong and what might help?

The workshops will be facilitated by Steven Flower and David Gardiner, with in-put from other members of the BJAA community.

 

Please register in order to attend.  Further details and a short reading list will follow.

 

About the speakers

Steven Flower

I am a Training Analyst/Supervisor for the BJAA and a Fellow of the BPF. I previously served as Chair of the BJAA, the British Association of Psychotherapists and the British Psychotherapy Foundation, the BPF. After an early involvement in development work in Southern Africa, I completed my initial training in Humanistic Psychotherapy and worked widely as a trainer and organisational consultant. As an analyst, I continue to grapple with the sometimes uneasy boundary between Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis.

 

David Gardiner

I am a Senior Member and Training Analyst of the BJAA/BPF. I read English at university, after which I worked in a psychiatric hospital, before I began teaching in East London schools, eventually specialising in psycho-social interventions with adolescents. After training, I set out as a psychotherapist in the NHS. I was a Consultant Psychotherapist in community mental health settings for ten years, during which I became involved in running therapeutic groups; teaching and supervising junior doctors, nurses and social workers; treating complex presentations and personality disorders, including working with suicide, and developing a particular interest in doing therapy with mothers of children in care. My current interests include post-Bion developments; ideas about attention in analysis; and bodily presence/absence in our work since Covid.

*If you are a psychotherapist or counsellor residing in an active conflict zone, you are eligible to attend this event free of charge (regardless of whether you are a bpf member or not). Please email membership@bpf-psychotherapy to enquire about a ticket.
