Pre Congress Master Classes
Master Class of Supervision
Susanna Wright (SAP)
Within the last three years remote working has become a universally shared experience and the Congress is a chance to think about how that is affecting the analyst’s role.
In the context of remote working, have you experienced new obstacles to mutual connection and presence, attunement, reverie and reciprocity? Can there be a ‘frame in the mind of the analyst’ that protects the analytic container, or vas? How and where do the chthonic, archetypal and conflictual energies that accompany psychic development and individuation now manifest?
By focusing on up to five individual cases for supervision brought by participants, we will aim to consider some challenging situations. The class will be available for online participants, but it will not be recorded. Presenters should be particularly careful to respect confidentiality in the context of an online setting. Confidentiality may be more easily achieved by concentrating on boundary issues that have accompanied a transfer to online work in a particular case, or on events from a single session.
If cases are sent to me beforehand (susanna.wright@blueyonder.co.uk) selection of the five cases may be made from submissions.
This Master Class will not be recorded or available online after the congress.
