Although social class is studied in so many disciplines and has been amply addressed in the theoretical literature of psychotherapy, it continues to be an avoided and conflictual issue for many within our professional community in the UK.
READ MORE...This unique conference has been curated to provide space for expression of the lived experience of working-class practitioners in the world of psychotherapy. Our panel will ask difficult questions about why this experience so often involves a struggle for inclusion and acceptance within our professional community; why people from disadvantaged economic backgrounds on both sides of the consulting room experience a lack of sophisticated discourse to account for the emotional impact of coming from less privileged backgrounds.
How are we to understand the neglect of such powerful subjective experiences given the premium in therapy that is placed on insight? Why does the profession seem to find it so difficult to recognise the effects of the real, external world in which we are formed? Is psychotherapy, perhaps, a politically naïve profession that needs to add the ‘social’ to ‘psycho’?
