Co-creative supervision lecture - with award-winning professor Keith Tudor

The ‘co’ of co-creative emphasises the transactional, inter-relational, mutual, joint, and co-operative. The creative refers to what is original, imaginative, intuitive, and spontaneous about the encounter between human beings. Together, co-creativity describes what emerges and is influential between the psychotherapist, counsellor, educator, organizational consultant, or coach and their client. Drawing on some 25 years of his and Graeme Summers’ development of this concept, both within and beyond transactional analysis, this lecture (which will be delivered in English) offers an introduction to co-creative transactional analysis (TA) and its re-reading of traditional TA theory and practice.
