ASSOCIATION OF THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITIES
Windsor Conference 2010

"Exploring the therapeutic relationship in different settings"  
Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park
14–17 September 2010

Therapeutic communities and therapeutic environments are developing through a period of unprecedented change. However, the ‘core technology’ or the ‘agent of change’ that is central to successful outcomes for clients using these services is the provision of a range of psychologically informed human relationships; these range from the ‘dyadic’ one-to-one, to the therapeutic group setting, both are often present and interact with the healing ethos of the overall planned environment in different settings. The 2010 ATC Windsor Conference will give expression to the human
experience of delivering this range of therapeutic interventions, and will allow new perspectives, techniques and theoretical underpinnings to be explored and discussed.

This is a four day residential conference with a limited opportunity for one day attandance. For further details contact: Association of Therapeutic Communities, Barns Centre, Church Lane, Toddington, Cheltenham, Glos GL54 5DQ. Tel/Fax: 01242 620077

IN COLLABORATION WITH GREATER MANCHESTER WEST MENTAL HEALTH NHS FOUNDATION TRUST

October 2010 - May 2011  Fee: £270 Ref. CPD30  Location: Manchester

This programme aims to provide participants with the opportunity to develop their understanding of the psychodynamics of work, organisations and the individuals and groups within them. Drawing predominantly on psychoanalytic and systemic concepts, there will be a programme of reading in

Applicants are expected to have a minimum of 5 years experience in their respective professions.

Applicants are expected to have an interest in psychoanalytic ideas and their application to the understanding of organisational dynamics. The programme may be particularly suitable for people who wish to
undertake further study in this field

commencing in October 2010. It will be held from 10.00am - 12.00pm, on the following Fridays:

PROGRAMME

10.30-11.00  Registration and Coffee 

11.00-12.15  Psychotherapy and the Psychoses -   Seminar by Darian Leader
 
Psychosis is at times visible and easy to diagnose, but most often it is discreet, never attracting clinical attention. What are the diagnostic clues the clinician should be alert to, what are the different forms psychosis can take, and what kind of therapy can be envisaged?

Darian Leader is a psychoanalyst practising in London. He is President of The College of Psychoanalysts-UK, a member of The Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research and Honorary Visiting Professor at the School of Human and Life Sciences, Roehampton University. His books include 'Freud's Footnotes', 'Why do people get ill?' (with David Corfield) and 'The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia and Depression'.

12.15-13.00 Discussion, chaired by Nick Read

13.00-14.00 Lunch

14.00-15.40 ‘Asylum’, a film by David Mackenzie, starring Natasha Richardson and Ian McKellan and based on the book by Patrick McGrath

15.40-15.50 Refreshments
 
15.50  Discussion. Falling Madly in Love?  Discussant: Sandra Thomas, Chair: Nick Read

In the film Asylum, paranoid schizoid defences are expressed as they become apparent through the film's themes of falling madly in love.  Through projective identification, introjection, splitting, and idealisation of love and hate relationships, we witness the pain and despair of separation, and the madness that ensues through the emotional disintegration of the lovers.

Sandra Thomas is a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, and Supervisor, working in Private Practice, who has a love of fine art, theatre and cinema, and hopes to discuss the major themes of the film accordingly.

17.00  Conference close

An Intermediate Course on “Understanding and Working with Personality Disorders: Developing Capabilities”


Specialist Services Directorate
The Regional Department of Psychotherapy
Claremont House


Who is this Course for?
The Course is open to multi-disciplinary staff working with individuals with personality disorders (PD) or with previous experience of doing so.  Some experience of psychologically-based models of work is helpful.

About the Course
This course is a live experience of following service users with PD through their core pathway — access to help: getting help: moving on.  Service users are involved in the planning and delivery of the course.  The emphasis is on learning from the service user’s experience, engaging the personality disturbance and managing risk/dangerousness in the context of a psychodynamic understanding of PD.  Teaching sessions will cover the theory and dynamics of PD and will follow the “aspect of being borderline” that service users learn about in the psycho-educational component of their treatment.

What is this Course?
The course is run over six months, weekly, one day per week.  A certificate of attendance is offered for those who attend 80% full sessions out of the 20 days.    The course helps to develop the generic expertise of the mental health professional in working in PD in the community or inpatient settings.  The course will offer an opportunity as a stepping stone to higher level trainings and allows trainees a chance to work with PD service users in exploratory work under supervision.

What is involved?
Dates: Monday 2 November 2009, takes place on Mondays from 9.00am — 5.00pm at Claremont House, Newcastle upon Tyne. Fees

Overall course fee if paid in full: £1,015.00

This can be paid in 3 instalments at a higher rate.
