NEXT TUESDAY MEETING

Working with cultures - A Psychodynamic Lens

Presented by Dr Charanjot Kaur Jheeta
Tuesday, 10th June 2025 at 8.0 pm

Synopsis:Considering the multicultural world within which we live, 'Working with Culture' speaks to the importance of how we can adapt therapy to clients from different cultural backgrounds. The conference will draw upon applicability to mostly psychodynamic theories, alongside considering how we can critique such theories when faced with clients who do not appear to 'fit' into eurocentric ways of working. Dr Jheeta will be delivering this conference using the research she has conducted on South Asian women as a backbone with a view for this to be applied more widely to clients from other backgrounds and where ultimately a 'difference' may present itself in the therapeutic space
