Developing clinical work with couples

Online weekend course 

With Andrew Balfour, Liz Hamlin, Judith Jamieson & Sonia Dalal. 

10 CPD credits 

This online weekend course is open to those interested in developing their work with couples. The course is appropriate for individual counsellors and psychotherapists, child, family, group psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, clinical psychologists, social workers as well as couple therapists who are keen to develop their skills and understanding of the couples they are working with. 

The course aims to introduce central concepts for understanding unconscious processes in couple interactions. It will offer a framework for understanding both conscious and unconscious communication, grounded in theory, clinical case examples, and seminar discussions. Participants will learn how to work with psychosexual cases from a biopsychosocial perspective and consider the psychological processes involved in the end of intimate couple relationships, such as divorce or separation.

Clinicians will become more confident and effective in clinical work across race, differences, and cultures. Overall participants will learn to use psychodynamic concepts in formulating and understanding relationship aspects in their work with couples or individuals. 

The course is limited in numbers to make room for depth discussion. There will be four clinical discussion groups with a maximum of eight students per group. There will be an opportunity for some participants to present their work and learn from the facilitator and others in the discussion groups. 

Seminars and clinical discussion groups will be led by TR Senior Clinical staff members.
