Supervision has grown into an important procedure and resource for promoting professionalism in many fields, especially those that have a high degree of independent responsibility and in which creativity is more important than following learned procedures. Communication is essential, and a complex context (social, organizational, interpersonal, and intrapsychic) must be taken into account. Contemporary supervision...
These series of meetings will be preceded by a short case study, talk or article authored by me. Participants are asked to bring a poem or lyrics of a song that come to mind when reading the material, including any connections made with neuroscience.

After nearly 20 years since I first published my ideas and thoughts about relational units, I'll share my current understanding and application to clinical work. We will examine the internalisation and nature of ego state relational units and their manifestation in the transference-countertransference relationship and their impact on therapy. In the workshop, we will examine...
The consultant’s vulnerability is rarely considered a success factor for organizational change processes. On the contrary, the client often expects the external consultant to have a grip on the process and to provide security and stability particularly when the client is facing uncertainty anyway due to the change process. We will explore the idea that...
This two-hour workshop will explore being the therapist of therapists, from working with trainees to those fully qualified. The overlapping of professional worlds and identities can bring ethical disorientation as well as edges of privilege and discrimination. How is working with trainees/therapists as clients similar and/or different to working with other clients? What are the...

In this extended workshop, Steven Kuchuck explores the impact of the therapist’s life experience and psychological make-up on the treatment. By expanding psychoanalytic study to include an examination of events in the clinician’s childhood and adult life as well as related psychodynamic issues, Dr. Kuchuck focuses on ways in which these experiences, crises, and dynamics...
Based on the model of Bernd Schmid – Three-Worlds-Modell -, we look at the different role worlds or role-areas. How they are described? What is the difference between the three worlds? What are the impacts of these differences to the relations and responsibilities in the professional context? With questions related to the different roles, we...
This workshop offers participants an opportunity to discuss a key piece of TA theory. Based on his article on the subject (published in the Transactional Analysis Journal in 2016), the workshop will review these concepts, and discuss Keith's extension of the classification of permissions. The three Ps are reconsidered not only as qualities and skills...
This lecture will focus on the embodied relationship between client and therapist in TA therapy. We will examine ways of attending to embodied relational dynamics that become available when therapy includes a more direct focus on addressing the two bodies in the room, with and without touch. The lecture is based in Novak’s embodied treatment...
