Ego, Anger & Attachment: A New Way of Looking at and Working with Aggression.
Facilitated by Frank Staemmler
28 & 29th February 2008.
 
Experiments in Groupwork
End of February - Begin of March 2008
Charlotte Sills & John Harris

Charlotte Sills MA, MSc is a psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice and Head of the Transactional Analysis Department at Metanoia. She has been running groups for personal or professional growth for over twenty-five years. She is a Visiting Professor at Middlesex University.
John Harris is a Gestalt trainer and psychotherapist, with a lifelong passion for working in and with groups. He is a founder member of the Manchester Gestalt Centre, and the author, with Peter Philippson, of Gestalt: Working with Groups.
Much of the theory and practice of group work is based on research on and practice with ‘small, closed groups’, and so starts with a narrow idea of what a group is and can be. In this workshop we will explore new and different ways of thinking about, running and being in groups of all shapes and sizes. We will use both didactic input and the different structures and ongoing process of our own workshop group as
vehicles for learning. This workshop is part of a series of workshops in our Groupwork Practitioner Certificate. It may be attended on a stand-alone basis.

Supervisors Practicum Certificate led by Gaie Houston
Next training: to be announced
Time: 10am-5pm on all 9 days
Fee: to be announced

This course is open to experienced counsellors and therapists. Both those who are just beginning to be supervisors, and those of considerable experience, have found the course enhancing. The core of the programme is a supervision practicum. The aim is to empower everyone present, so that there is enjoyed shared learning: co-operation rather than a competitive ethos.

This certificate is awarded on completion of the course and two case studies. One of these demonstrates the proper use of supervision as a supervisee. The other shows the writer's ability to be of use as a supervisor.
Those not wishing to complete the written work will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
Based on practice, the course will focus on -

  • the art of being a supervisee
  • clinical assessment of clients
  • ethics and ethical dilemmas and the supervisor's responsibilities
  • the supervisor in relation to agencies
  • practice in the three major aspects of supervision described in Supervision and Counselling (Houston 1996)
  • creating each participants own model of supervision in the light of current literature and practice.
