UEL have also developed a series of new systemic ‘Dialogical Discussion Groups’ facilitated by a number of wonderful and highly experienced family therapists; Mo Olorunoje, Taiwo Afuape, Kehinde Afuape, Sybil Qasir and Anne-Marie Reid. All supervisors of trainees from UEL RHUL and UCL are welcome to attend these groups.
What is a Dialogical Discussion Group? These groups will be a chance to share and discuss dilemmas and successes from your clinical setting, using a systemic lens to explore the opportunities and learning that these present. These will be structured and facilitated spaces, which will be shaped collaboratively as they progress.
Who are they for? These groups will specifically be for current supervisors of trainee clinical psychologists (from UEL, UCL and RHUL) who are systemically trained to at least Intermediate level.
Why are we offering these? At UEL (and across the North Thames region) we are committed to embedding the foundation and intermediate level systemic training into the DClinPsy course – including offering trainees the opportunity to access systemic clinical work and supervision through their placements. We want to ensure that you as supervisors are well-supported in this role, with access to ongoing systemic learning and ideas.
When will the groups be? Monthly, 16:30-18:00
· Session 4 Thursday 22nd February
· Session 5 Wednesday 20th March
· Session 6 Thursday 18th April
