THEME – MUTUALITY

Lew Aaron famously referred to relational psychotherapy as having ‘mutuality with asymmetry’. Our conference this year explores the notion of mutuality. What do we mean by it and how does it affect our work?

The conference revolves around a panel discussion between the TA practitioners mentioned above and will include facilitated discussion groups and plenty of time for questions, thoughts, ideas, and considerations.
