PROGRAMME
THURSDAY 28 JANUARY 2010
Dr Christopher Clulow
I will firstly be considering the creative encounter between the patient's problem and the practitioner's understanding of her or his primary task. Supervision provides a relationship in which that encounter can be explored and thought about. The supervisory relationship provides a site for decoding unconscious communications and understanding the dynamics of family relationships, a process that has the potential to develop all who might be touched by it. It can also provide a means of modelling therapeutic practice.

Dr Christopher Clulow is Vice Chair of the Society of Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists, and was Director of the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships until July 2006, when he retired to practice as a couple psychotherapist, teacher and researcher. He has 30 years' experience of working psychoanalytically with couples, is a full member of the Society of Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists and a General Member of the British Association of Sexual and Relationship Therapists. He has published extensively on working with couples undergoing change, and about marriage and family life.

THURSDAY 4 FEBRUARY 2010
Dr Susie Orbach
I will be listening to the case presentation with special attention to the relational constellations that arise between therapist and patient, countertransference experiences and the subjectivity of both therapist and patient in the co-creation of the therapeutic relationship. The patient's relationship between body and mind, and possible defences against dependency may also be considered.

Dr Susie Orbach is a psychoanalyst and writer. Her interests as a psychotherapist and writer have centred around feminism and psychoanalysis, counter-transference, psychoanalysis and the public sphere, the construction of femininity and gender, globalization and body image and emotional literacy. Her numerous publications include the classic, Fat is a Feminist Issue, along with such other influential texts as Hunger Strike and The Impossibility of Sex. Her latest book is Bodies(2009).

THURSDAY 11 FEBRUARY 2010
Anne-Marie Sandler
I think of supervision as a learning process with someone who may be feeling very vulnerable in their work with patients. Because of this supervision should mainly be supportive, helping the supervisee increase in confidence. At the same time it is also important for them to gain insight into their strong and weak points. I do not think there is a single way of conducting treatment, and my role as supervisor is to help the candidates find their own style with various patients.

Anne-Marie Sandler is an analyst in private practice and a training analyst in adult, adolescent and child analysis at the British Psychoanalytical Society. She is a former President of the British Psychoanalytical Society and of the European Psychoanalytic Federation, as well as Vice-President of the International Psychoanalytical Association. Until 1997 she was Director of the Anna Freud centre (formerly the Hampstead Clinic). She has published widely, alone and with her late husband, Dr. Joseph Sandler, including the book Internal Objects Revisited.

THURSDAY 18 FEBRUARY 2010
Dr John Rowan
In supervision I come from a humanistic and transpersonal background, and aim at an authentic meeting between therapist and supervisor. The relationship is important not only in therapy but also in supervision. I aim at an appropriate balance between support and confrontation.

Dr John Rowan is an author, counsellor, psychotherapist and clinical supervisor who practices primal integration. He has worked with Ken Wilber in exploring Transpersonal psychology and has written several books on subpersonalities. John Rowan has been supervising since 1978, and is accredited by BACP. There is a chapter on supervision in his book The Reality Game, and another in the book co-written with Michael Jacobs entitled The Therapist's Use of Self. He is a Fellow of the BPS, of BACP and of UKCP. He helped to found the Association of Humanistic Psychology Practitioners.

THURSDAY 4 MARCH 2010
Dr Phil Mollon
My focus in providing supervision will be on the interplay of past and present in the traditional, and the now often-lost, framework of transference. This would contrast with the excessive ‘hereand-now’ focus of much contemporary psychoanalytic practice, in which the original Freudian concept of transference has been foreclosed.

Dr Phil Mollon is a psychoanalyst, psychotherapist and clinical psychologist. He is the author of a number of books on trauma, dissociation, shame, and self psychology. In recent years his focus has been upon integrating the emerging field of energy psychology with more traditional psychoanalytic understanding - developing an approach that he terms Psychoanalytic Energy Psychotherapy. He has developed a particular theory of the construction of self and identity in a social context.

THURSDAY 18 MARCH 2010
Dr Jean Knox
This supervision will apply an intersubjective approach and consider its implications for the patient, therapist and supervisor, with reference to Jungian theory and the concept of the wounded healer.

Dr Jean Knox is a psychiatrist, Training Analyst of the Society of Analytical Psychology, Senior Member of the British Association of Psychotherapists, Consultant Editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology and Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Kent.
