WHO THE COURSE IS FOR Join the bpf’s flagship introductory course – now in its third year. Psychotherapy Today has been specifically designed for those who are either considering a psychotherapy training and/or are curious about psychoanalytic and Jungian thinking and how these ideas can be applied to the world in which we live. The course aims to kindle curiosity, encourage critical thinking, make connections, and investigate differences in a creative and inclusive group setting, enabling students to develop their own associations and ideas. You may already be working in related professions, such as a GP, nursery nurse or social worker, or you may come from a completely different background. Life experience is strongly valued. ABOUT THE COURSE On each Saturday, two seminars are delivered on a specific theme; one seminar offers a psychoanalytic, the other a Jungian perspective. The aim of the course is to consider how these ways of thinking can be useful tools for reflecting on and understanding a broad range of issues. Each seminar is followed by a facilitated group discussion, in which you can explore and discuss key ideas. All seminar leaders and discussion facilitators are bpf psychoanalytic psychotherapists, Jungian analysts, child and adolescent psychotherapists or psychoanalysts working in private practice, the voluntary sector and the NHS.

It couldn’t be simpler.

Cuts to children’s mental health services are real, devastating and have no justification or mandate.
