Relational Psychotherapy has successfully established itself within the wider field of psychotherapy and the term 'relational' has even become quite a fashionable label for some. One of the consequences of the term catching on is that it is so widely used that its precision has been lost. This webcast aims to get clarity on relationality from a variety of different perspectives.
Important concepts in relational thinking
This online series aims to examine the notion of relationality today, exploring the positive potential of a relational approach alongside the possible limitations and pitfalls of relational theory and practice as deployed in the clinic. Relational process will be subjected to a critical eye within specific contexts such as diversity, social and political arenas, and psychotherapy practice, intersubjectivity, and supervision.
This online program is worth 8 hours CPD.
