6.30-9pm
Wimpole Room
Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1G 0AE
We invite you to join us for a seminar that will demonstrate the potential of
ISTDP as an evidence based, brief term therapy for a broad spectrum of
disorders, including personality pathology. The evening will include a brief
theoretical presentation followed by an audiovisual presentation of case
material. Limited audience size will allow time for questions and discussion.
The presentation is suitable for registered clinicians in field of
psychotherapy, psychology, psychiatry and allied fields, as well as graduate
students.
The Lovesick CEO who had to learn Japanese ISTDP Treatment of Superego
Pathology.
The presentation will focus on the moment to moment interventions in an initial
therapy session. Through use of video-vignettes of case material, Dr Neborsky
will illustrate how Attachment-Based ISTDP addresses faulty ego-superego
structures and the way in which they create and sustain character pathology. It
will demonstrate the technique of separation of the emergent healthy ego from
the unconscious superego.
Costs: £35 per person or £20 (ISTDP-UK members)
Places are limited and bookings need to be made on or before 22 September 2010.

Psychotherapy with People with Learning Difficulties
Valerie Sinason
What is the
emotional experience of disability? What does it feel like to have your
identity defined by disability? What are the transference and
counter-transference implications? In showing the importance of access to
psychotherapy with children and adults with all levels of disability this
seminar will also point to the key themes that emerge from therapeutic work as
well as the omnipresence of trauma.
Valerie

The Emergence of the True Self … The Black Experience in
Relation to the White Other
Dr Aileen
Alleyne
UKCP Reg. Psychotherapist, Clinical
Supervisor, Org. Consultant
Akbar (1979), DeGruy Leary
(2005) and Fletchman Smith (2000) all suggest that centuries of the painful
history of slavery, followed by systemic racism and oppression, have resulted
in multigenerational adaptive behaviours. Some of these have been positive and
reflective of resilience, but others detrimental and destructive. This talk
will highlight some of these patterns and behaviours, which
you might meet in the consulting room. Using Alleyne’s, (1992) “The Cycle of
Events”, together with clinical case material recorded on video, the speaker
will explore ways of working with such phenomena to deepen your understanding
of race dynamics in black/white relationships.
