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

These workshops are for BJAA Graduates only. 

 

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.
