The Portman Clinic

6 October - 8 December 2010

This seminar series, for qualified psychotherapists of different backgrounds, aims to discuss aspects of technique in the treatment of patients presenting with problems of perversion, delinquency and violence.

Each seminar will be introduced by a theoretical orientation on the topic of the day (45 min) followed by a presentation by a Portman Clinician (45 min) to illustrate some of the aspects discussed beforehand. The seminar will conclude with a half hour discussion of the questions raised.

The seminars aim not to focus on patients but rather on the techniques used. The framework, including management and confidentiality, is seen as part of technique and is therefore also covered in this course.

Fee: £395
