Eileen Jamieson Workshop
Friday 30th April 2010
10 am – 4.30pm
(Registration 9 – 10am)
AFT Cymru is proud to host the 2010 Eileen Jamieson Workshop with
Laura Fruggeri
Laura Fruggeri is Professor of Psychology at Parma University and Head of the Bologna Centro Per la Studia della Familia one of the branches of the Milan Centro. Laura will present a workshop on:
“Construction of the Therapeutic Relationship”
Practitioners will draw inspiration from this presentation of Laura Fruggeri’s work which will illustrate, by way of case examples, the theoretical notions which she uses as guidelines for therapeutic actions.
Laura draws from the Batesonian epistemology and from the systemic approach as well as from social constructionism. She will discuss the theoretical notions of interdependence, complementarity, double description and the levels involved in interactions and will invite the audience to consider the application of this model to their own case examples. Particular attention will be given to the social dimension of the therapeutic intervention as Laura reflects upon the relational/interactive processes embedded in any therapist-client exchange. She will discuss the implications of such processes on the identities of those involved.
Venue: Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay, CF10 5AL

This award is open to students who opt to complete both Foundation and Intermediate level training at Leeds and apply for this programme.

The course consists of approximately 20 Wednesday evening sessions and 3 full days over the academic year.

Students will need a work base in which they can apply systemic thinking.
The course consists of approximately 20 Wednesday evening sessions and 3 full day sessions over the academic year.
