Programme

For the foreseeable future ALL workshops and talks will be held online.

The committee have been busy in producing the programme for 2021 and we believe that it is exciting and present it below. For the first few months of 2021 we anticipate that we will need to continue giving our events online. When it is safe to do so we hope that we will be able to return to our normal mode of holding events at the University.

The Sibling in the Consulting Room: Working with the Sibling Matrix

Presented by Val Parker
Tuesday, 9th February 2021 8pm to 9.30pm

Synopsis: An interactive presentation and discussion of ideas from Val's recently published book: 'A Group-Analytic Exploration of the Sibling Matrix: How Siblings Shape our Lives' (Routledge 2020) . I am delighted to have been invited back to the RTG to talk about siblings, which I think is an under-rated but hugely important aspect of our work with clients. This will be an opportunity for you to think not only about sibling issues in your clinical work and in the sibling transference, but also about how your own sibling issues may impact on your work as a therapist.

Biography:Val is a group analyst and psychodynamic psychotherapist working in private practice in West Oxfordshire. She was for many years a tutor on the Psychodynamic Studies programme at the University of Oxford. She currently teaches on the Oxford Foundation Course in Group Analysis, is a member of the staff team on the Qualifying Course in Group Analysis in Tirana, Albania and is a visiting lecturer on training courses throughout Britain.
