Workshop with David Mann
Content and Aims: From a psychoanalytic perspective, this workshop explores the
particular features of working with and in the erotic transference and
counter-transference in the therapeutic setting.
The erotic transference includes those sexual feelings the patient/client
projects or invests in the therapist/counsellor. The erotic counter-transference
includes the erotic feelings the therapist/counsellor has about, and towards,
the patient/client. The workshop aims to explore ways of understanding the
meaning of sexual feelings in a therapy setting both in terms of the
difficulties and the opportunities the presence of sexual feelings raises for
the progress of the therapy. We will explore how these feelings can be an
important source of information and how we can make use of this information to
help the client.
This one-day workshop consists of work in small and large groups; work in pairs
and creative visualisations. Participants will be expected to bring examples of
their work that is relevant to the discussion.
Target Group: psychotherapists, counsellors and trainees. Some clinical
experience with clients in counselling or psychotherapy is essential.
