Fixing or Unravelling the Self: The idea of change in psychotherapy

Join the Society for Social and Critical Psychoanalysis for this in-person workshop given by Dr Sally Sales.

We live in a time where short-term, solution-focused therapy has become the most popular form of psychological help both within and outside of the NHS. Longer-term therapy is now rarely on offer because it is too costly in terms of time and money. In this workshop, we will think about the different kinds of help that short-term and long-term therapy provide and ask the following questions:

Do we go to therapy to be fixed?

How does staying longer help?

The second part of the workshop will be an introduction to the SSCP clinical training in psychoanalysis based in Truro.

About:

Dr Sally Sales is an analyst in private practice in SE Cornwall. She also coordinates the SSCP training in Clinical Psychoanalysis.

Organised by

The Society for Social and Critical Psychoanalysis

The Society for Social & Critical Psychoanalysis (SSCP)

The SSCP offers a range of events exploring the rich and diverse field of psychoanalysis. Our programme includes an Introductory Course and a series of stand-alone lectures, delivered by a range of psychoanalytic clinicians most of whom are involved with the SSCP clinical training. The SSCP training is well known for its critical and comparative engagement with the different traditions of psychoanalytic thought. Rather than being rooted in one body of psychoanalytic theory, the training explores the different psychoanalytic schools – Lacanian, Object Relations, Kleinian, Relational, Jungian, and Freudian – and reflects on the place of those schools within the contemporary social field.

Who would these events interest?

If you are already working as a counsellor, it is an opportunity to broaden your knowledge base within the field of psychoanalysis and to enhance your clinical practice.

If you are thinking of doing a psychoanalytic training, then these events offer a broad introduction to the ideas and practices that a training will involve.

These events will also be of interest to those who want to find out more about the relevance of psychoanalysis to the dilemmas and conflicts of contemporary life.

At the conclusion of the course attendance certificates are available for CPD purposes.
