23rd July @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Participants need to bring a photo of themselves as a child that includes their family members: all siblings with or without parents.
In this workshop, I will present insights into the vertical paradigm, central to Freud’s theoretical framework, and the reasons why it has become the dominant perspective in psychotherapy, in consulting and in supervision. I will present the history and development of the horizontal (sibling) perspective and the reasons why it has recently gained traction as an important, yet often overlooked, perspective in our clinical work.
Servaas van Beekum is a social scientist with a special interest in analytic, systemic, and humanistic approaches in psychotherapy and consulting. He is a past president of both EAA and ITAA and a founding member of international associations for supervision and of associations that study unconscious processes in groups and organizations. He has written over 30 articles and book chapters and was awarded the 2015 Eric Berne Memorial Award for his work to bring back the concept of the unconscious into transactional analysis. He is active as a psychotherapist, corporate psychologist, and strategy consultant. After being born, raised, educated, and having worked in Europe, Servaas moved to Sydney some 20+ years ago, rebuilding and continuing his practice. Since Covid, he has moved most of his international teaching and workshopping online.
This event is open to all fields and all levels of qualification.
