This is a taster session for a six week CPD online course for psychologists, psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners. The online course is a version of the psychodynamic teaching I provided on a DClinPsy training programme. It is aimed at practitioners who want to explore how to integrate core psychodynamic principles into their current practice.

The training is helpful for practitioners with an interest in psychodynamic ideas but little experience of applying them clinically. My teaching style is jargon-free, warm and inclusive.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE TASTER OR THE COURSE PLEASE CONTACT FRANCES ON frances@francesgillies.co.uk

The course is run at different times so please contact me or visit francesgillies.co.uk for times and dates of the next course.

At each of the six workshops, I introduce a new topic and provide a history of the development of the idea over time, finishing with modern psychodynamic thinking. Participants are encouraged to bring clinical material and we work together as a group to apply the psychodynamic theories to the work.

The 6 topics covered are:

• The unconscious
• Analytic listening
• Free association
• Defences
• Transference and countertransference
• Attachment theory applications
