2023 Mary Kilborn Lecture. Journeys of Hope at the Difficult Edge:  Person-Centred-Experiential Approaches to Working with People with Unusual Experiences or Psychotic Processes.

The theme of this year's Mary Kilborn Lecture is: Journeys of Hope at the Difficult Edge: Person-Centred-Experiential Approaches to Working with People with Unusual Experiences or Psychotic Processes. 

 

Our speaker is Dr Wendy Traynor who will address the application of Person-Centred-Experiential psychotherapy with people who present with psychotic or other unusual experiences. Wendy will discuss her path into practice and research with this challenging client population, which includes people who hear voices or have unusual or psychotic experiences. Both therapist and client perceptions of helpful and unhelpful aspects of practice and possible impact will be discussed. Key practice considerations will be highlighted as well as reflections regarding the complexity of the wider context of service provision, using examples from life, work and research.

The lecture  will take place on Thursday 11th May at 6.30pm. There will be a wine reception after the lecture. Please tell your friends and colleagues and share the link to the Mary Kilborn Lecture registration page with them.

Remember, the event is free but you must register your attendance in advance.
