EVENTS
PSYCHOPATHOLOGY UNPACKED - 10 Lectures exploring contemporary interdisciplinary approaches to the concept and treatment of mental illness
MONDAY EVENINGS: 11 JANUARY - 22 MARCH 2010
Both psychiatry and psychotherapy are concerned with helping individuals in distress. Often, a very troubled individual receives help from both professions at the same time. And yet there can be misunderstanding and mistrust between the two professions, often fuelled by lack of knowledge about the other's approach.

LIVE SUPERVISION CLASSES - 6 live supervision demonstrations led by Dr Christopher Clulow, Dr Susie Orbach, Anne-Marie Sandler, Dr John Rowan, Dr Phil Mollon, and Dr Jean Knox
THURSDAY EVENINGS: 28 JANUARY - 18 MARCH 2010
These evenings are designed to provide the observer with exceptional insight into both the psychotherapeutic process and how supervision is conducted. By following a discussion between a leading psychotherapist and a colleague who is struggling with a case, we enter the normally hidden domain of exploratory conversation and theory as they work together to find a way forward in the work.
In the programme details, each supervisor in the series explains their approach.

THE BIG IDEA - Bold proposals, visionary ideas and inspiring concepts for the next decade of psychotherapy
FRIDAY 5 (EVENING) AND SATURDAY 6 MARCH 2010
This first decade of the 2000s has heralded an unmistakable shift of influence towards the body, neuroscience, and mind-body integration. On the foundations of intersubjectivity, relational and attachment theories, revisions in the way we view the therapeutic relationship have been widely discussed. Flourishing in the wings, newer discourses such as mindfulness, eco-psychology and Queer theory are making a gradual impact on the mainstream. On centre stage, mentalisation, CBT and trauma work, have become increasingly significant theoretical pathways.

STRUCTURES AND DISORDERS OF THE SELF - A series of 9 seminars for psychotherapists
WEDNESDAY 14 APRIL - WEDNESDAY 14 JULY 2010
The concept of the self is a subject of extensive theoretical debate, perhaps because of the great challenge of describing its characteristics and formation. Interestingly, within Western paradigms, the self is often understood through a relationship with its opposite: I and thou, self and society, true and false, inner and outer. And traditionally psychotherapy aims to strengthen these distinctions between self and other in the project of developing individuation and resilience.
