A workshop for experienced clinicians and therapists wishing to extend their understanding of working with complex clinical presentations.
Organising tutor
David Morgan
Course aims
• Look at the difficulties of clinical work with ‘difficult patients’.
• Use Kleinian and post-Kleinian theory to explore the concept of ‘impasse’. This was developed by Herbert Rosenfeld to describe problems that develop in the transference and counter-transference with patients who are perverse, psychotic, borderline, or who have a tendency to act out.
Is this course for you?
• Suitable for experienced clinicians working in the NHS, mental health, prisons and private practice who are experienced and/or trained in psychoanalytic theory or other settings.
• Preference will be given to BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council) or UKCP accredited therapists, but other training may be acceptable.
• You need to be in, or have been in, personal analysis.
Time commitment
One year, Friday mornings.
