The relationship between the therapist and the client is of central importance, but art therapy differs from other talking therapies in that it is a three way process between the client, the therapist and the image or construction. It offers a way to express and communicate for people who find it hard to express their thoughts and feelings in words. Health services

What do I do in Art Therapy? You are given time with art materials to make things, play and talk. Why do people see an Art Therapist? Sometimes changes in their lives at home, school, with family and friends make some people behave differently, or have very strong feelings about. It may be hard to talk and think about how you feel. What kind of things do Art Therapists help people with? Some reasons a person sees an art therapist may be:
To help you think about how you look and feel about yourself
To feel more confident in yourself
To explore changes and bad experiences in your life from the past and put them behind you
To understand why you do things that you don’t want to do
To have a stable and understanding place to go when things in life seem very unsafe or changeable

How can Art Therapy help me? Art therapy encourages you to express yourself and communicate how they feel. This helps them gain increased self awareness, understanding and self esteem. Art Therapy can be another way to express things. Do I have to be good at Art? Art therapy is not about being good at art but being willing to use the materials to express yourself with art materials. Art Therapy aims to help people make change and grow on a personal level through the use of art materials in a safe environment. When and where will I see the Art Therapist? You will see the same art therapist on each Appointment. You will work in a quiet room at your local centre. Who knows that I am doing Art Therapy? Art Therapy is private within the health team unless you or someone you know is unsafe and have been or are at risk of being hurt. We will talk to you about this when we meet. While you do Art Therapy your work will be kept in a safe place and is looked after by the Art Therapist. When you have finished working with an Art Therapist you can keep your Art work or it can be stored for up to 3 years at the centre after this is will be safely disposed of. The person who has referred you and your G.P., parents or carers will know you have been offered Art Therapy. Your Art Therapist will have supervision with another professional in their team, to make sure that they are helping you in the best way they can. If other professionals work with you we may all meet to make sure we are all working together to help you and your family. You can tell people you are doing Art Therapy if you want to. What happens if I don’t like Art Therapy? If you are not happy with Art Therapy we want you to talk to us about this. If you have questions about Art Therapy please feel free to ask your Art Therapist. Art Therapy inquiries ONLY

IAFP SEMINAR
19 OCTOBER 2023
'PARTNERS IN CRIME’
PAUL GRAY
DEBORAH JUMP
DR CELIA SADIE
*REGISTER NOW*

DATE: Thursday 19th October, 7 - 8.30 pm, Via Zoom

SPEAKER: Deborah Jump & Paul Gray
TOPIC: 'Partners in Crime: The role of forensic psychotherapy in criminological thinking and practice’

Whereas crime more generally has fallen over the last 20 years, levels of serious youth violence remain high. This seminar presents innovative research into the complex relationship between adverse childhood experiences and serious youth violence. While the implementation of trauma-informed approaches to working with adolescents in the justice system are becoming common practice, there remains a dearth of research into the efficacy of such approaches. Foregrounding young people’s voices, this seminar explores the theoretical underpinnings of trauma and the manifestations of childhood adversity. The presenters conclude by advocating for a more forensic psychotherapeutic approach to trauma-informed policy and practice within the youth justice system.

Paul Gray is Reader in Criminology at Manchester Metropolitan University and Director of the Manchester Centre for Youth Studies.

Deborah Jump is Reader in Criminology at Manchester Metropolitan University, and Deputy Director and Head of Youth Justice at the Manchester Centre for Youth Studies.

SPEAKER: Celia Sadie
TOPIC: ‘Creating a therapeutic school for children in custody: Oasis Restore’

The talk will describe the creation of the first secure school in England, Oasis Restore, the policy vision, and how this has been translated into a model of therapeutic practice. The school is due to open in Spring 2024, looking after boys and girls aged 12-19 while they are on remand or serving sentences.

Dr Celia Sadie is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, an organisational consultant, and Director of Care and Wellbeing at Oasis Restore.

Maudsley Lectures in Psychoanalysis | Dreams in the 21st century: Royal Road or Road to Nowhere

Ella Sharpe and the Language of Dreams

Prof Ken Robinson

Chaired by Dr Rupert Nieboer, Dr Liz Allison and Dr Emma Staples Hotopf

Monday 16th October

7:45pm - 9:15pm

Hybrid event - In person at 10 Windsor Walk SE5 8BB and online via Zoom.

Lectures in this series will be recorded and available for 1 week to all registered participants.

If you would like to attend inperson please contact: [email protected]

Ella Sharpe was one of the most esteemed analysts of her time, and there is still much to be learned from her work. Her first career was as a teacher of English, her second was as a psychoanalyst, and in her work on dreams she brings together the expertise of these two careers, approaching “the subject of dream mechanisms through the avenue of poetic diction” to reveal “those unconscious mental mechanisms evolved during the course of development for the purpose of controlling and shaping the primitive instinctual self”. This lecture will explore Sharpe’s understanding of how dreams are, for her, the royal road to the individual’s unknown, but known, early personal experience, “not only actual past occurrences but the emotional states and bodily sensations painful and pleasurable accompanying such occurrences”.

Ken Robinson is a member of the British Psychoanalytical Society, Honorary Member of the Polish Society of Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy, and Visiting Professor of Psychoanalysis at the Northumbria University. He works in private practice in Newcastle upon Tyne and teaches and supervises within the UK and Europe. He is particularly interested in and has published on, the nature of therapeutic action. His recent published works include The Contemporary Freudian Tradition. Past and Present, edited with Joan Schächter (Routledge, 2021), “The end of transference” (Jahrbuch der Psychoanalyse, 2022), and essays on both Ella Sharpe and Pearl King in Independent Women in British Psychoanalysis, edited by Elizabeth Wolf, Barbie Antonis (Routledge, 2023).
