Race and Culture in the Consulting Room:Why should we care? Session 3

Join us in person to discuss 'Why race and culture matters in clinical practice'.

This is the thrid in a series of in person sessions on Race and Culture in the Consulting room, organised by the Race and Culture Committee of the Guild of Psychotherapists. The series is intended to bridge the gap between the academic discussions on race and culture in psychotherapy and the practical application in clinical practice. Our speakers will present case material from their consulting rooms and there will be plenty of time for discussion.

In this seminar, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist Charles Brown will be presenting 'Working with Psychosis' an account of his relational approach to working with a female patient who experienced psychosis.

We hope to create an explorative space where we can freely discuss this and think together about why should we, as clinicians and clinicians-to-be, care? How would this “caring” actually look like in the clinical encounter? In addition to any other questions that may arise from Charle's presentation.

This event will not be recorded.

The Race and Culture Committee (RCC) was set up initially to question the lack of diversity in the organisation, and secondly to provide a forum for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic members of the Guild to discuss issues of common concern, address ‘racial’ and cultural questions from a psychoanalytic and analytical psychology perspective, and promote anti-racist practice and racial equity within psychotherapy and the wider community.
