Online Contemp. Psychoanalytic Summer Programme

Organised by:

Tavistock Relationships

Description

Delivered by leading clinicians in the field of contemporary psychoanalysis

With Dr Zack Eleftheriadou, Dr Jo Stubley & Dr Andrew Balfour

Join us this August for our online psychoanalytic summer programme exploring contemporary thinking across the lifespan. The programme brings together three highly respected clinicians and psychoanalytic practitioners: Dr Zack Eleftheriadou, Dr Joanne Stubley and Dr Andrew Balfour. Designed for counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, trainees and mental health professionals at all stages of their careers, the Summer School offers a rich developmental journey from infancy through to later life.

Across the sessions, participants will explore:

– The psychodynamic formation of the self, attachment, infant research and early relational development
– Infant-parent and toddler-parent psychotherapy through the work of Donald Winnicott
– The impact of trauma on development, including contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives on complex trauma and dissociation
– Therapeutic adaptations for working with adults affected by complex trauma
– Psychoanalytic work with parental couples and the transition to parenthood
– Ageing, dementia, mortality and the continuing significance of relationships in later life

Psychoanalysis continues to evolve through ongoing dialogue with contemporary research and clinical practice, drawing on developments in attachment theory, developmental psychology, neurobiology and trauma studies while maintaining its central concern with subjective experience and the internal world. Far from being a static discipline, it remains fundamentally concerned with how early relationships shape the developing mind how a sense of self is formed, how emotional experience is represented and defended against, and how relational patterns are carried forward across the lifespan

The programme combines lectures, clinical examples, discussion and Q&A, making it an ideal opportunity to deepen knowledge, refresh thinking and engage with contemporary psychodynamic practice during the summer period.
