Sexual and Domestic Violence
Therapy and the Law
Recorded Saturday 26 November 2022
With Tayba Azim, Erene Hadjiioannou, Rose Lewis and Stephen Littlewood with poetry from Louisa Rodriguez
CPD Credits: 5 hours
The notion of psychotherapy as a completely private space is negated when working with survivors of sexual or domestic violence who are simultaneously navigating legal systems. When ethical and legal requirements intersect with therapeutic work, they can be experienced as intrusive, anxiety-provoking, and restrictive. All this occurs whilst managing the impact of trauma in a world where violence against disempowered people exists. How do we stay connected to such clients when there are multiple factors that may force disconnection and re-traumatisation?
READ MORE...The reality of providing psychotherapy when it intersects with the law will be explored from the perspectives of two psychotherapists, an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) , and a criminal Barrister.
Following the International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women we will aim to encourage discussion where there is often silence and empowerment where there is oppression.
CPD – Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits for 5 hours are available as part of the course fee. You will need to pass a multiple choice questionnaire related to the content in order to receive your certificate.
Access to the Talks On Demand runs for 365 days from the date of purchase.
