Open Afternoon

Thinking of training in Jungian analysis?

The SAP offers a four-year intensive clinical training programme in analysis. The training fully equips individuals to practise professionally as analysts in private practice, as well as those who need top-level analytical skills in a variety of other professional and mental health care settings.

The SAP engages in a full programme of professional activities, organising conferences, workshops, seminars and lectures for the general public as well as for psychotherapists and mental health professionals. These take place in London, Oxford, Cambridge and other venues around the country.

The SAP offers a range of courses, including an annual course – Foundations of Analytical Psychology, a systematic introduction to Jungian psychology, its principles, theories and practice. This course runs on Wednesday evenings in London and Oxford. It gives participants the opportunity to learn about key Jungian concepts at a sophisticated level, and to meet a range of SAP trained analysts who teach the course. Some people approach their interest in training through this introduction.

We also offer a one-year training in Supervision, comprising lectures, workshops and extensive supervised supervision. It aims to enhance the development of essential skills for all those involved in clinical teaching, clinical management and consultation.

The Society also organises Infant Observation seminars, for those who wish to hone their observational skills as well as their understanding of infant and child development through this deep and richly rewarding approach.

For those people needing more clinical experience, we can assist in arranging honorary clinical placements in NHS psychotherapy departments and voluntary agencies, where valuable analytical supervision is provided.

The Society has strong links with The Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex where an SAP analyst is one of the professors of Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies. Here an extensive programme of research and post-graduate study is offered for those who wish to extend their academic and clinical work to M.A., Clinical Doctorate and PhD level.

We warmly invite you to our Open Afternoon to explore any interests you may have in any of the above activities and training offered by the SAP. You will have the opportunity to meet informally the Chair of Council, the Director of Training, the Chair of the Training Committee and other members involved with the Training and the Foundation Course. You will have opportunities for discussion with other participants and with SAP members in both structured and informal groups.

We welcome people from all relevant professions who are exploring training opportunities, including psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs, psychotherapists, counsellors, art and music therapists, psychiatric nurses, clergy, social workers, etc.

The SAP is a founder member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and upholds an equal opportunities policy.

ANNUAL LECTURE

Saturday, 6th October 2007, 10am - 1pm

IMAGINATION, CREATIVITY, AND THE JOYS OF BEING ORDINARY
Speaker: David Hewison

Respondent: Joy Schaverien
Chair: Martin Schmidt

What is it that makes us ‘creative’? Is it some innate capacity that we all have or is it only the gift of certain people? How does it relate to the imagination? Does being ‘ordinary’ mean that imagination and creativity are denied to us and why is it that for some people the very idea of being ‘ordinary’ is an anathema?

This lecture will address the related subjects of imaginative endeavour, creative capacity and their relationship to being ordinary in a number of different ways. It will use clinical examples from individual and couple work as well as looking at elements of the life and work of David Smith, the ‘greatest modern American sculptor’, and the way in which the death of Thomas Hardy’s first wife brought about his ‘flowering’ as the ‘greatest English elegiac poet’. The talk will be followed by a response by Joy Schaverien.

David Hewison is a Jungian analyst and a professional member of the SAP. He is also a senior clinician and reader in Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships currently researching Jungian approaches to couple psychotherapy, including working on a book in the SAP Monograph Series Understanding Couple Relationships in Clinical Practice.

Joy Schaverien is a professional member of the SAP in private practice in the East Midlands. She is visiting professor for The Northern Programme for Art Psychotherapy & Sheffield University and has published widely on the links between art and analytical psychology.

Martin Schmidt is secretary of the SAP and is in private practice in London. He lectures and supervises at a number of training organisations including the SAP, LCP, Universities of Hertfordshire and Surrey and on the IAAP programme in Moscow.
