Creative Systemic Supervision in Action.
4th February 2020. Cedar Unit. Exeter University. 10-4.30pm
An exploration of action methods in systemic supervision. Every time we expand a role, we empower ourselves and take another step towards a coherent whole (White, 2011). Many consider that our well-being can be measured by the number of roles or selves we can encompass. Each of these integrated roles gives us another possible set of responses to the world around us. In this workshop, Hannah, a family therapist and Martin, a psychodramatist, explore the three types of role conceptualised within psychodrama: somatic, social and psychodramatic (Moreno, 1953) and how these can be utilized and inform a systemic supervisory context. Hannah and Martin will demonstrate how, through the use of experiential exercises, supervisees can safely explore their role patterns within supervision and start to understand their own defensive positions that may impede and constrict their clinical practice. The event will be presented by Martin Gill and Hannah Sherbersky.
Research and Relationships
18th June. 2020
Hannah Sherbersky and Arlene Vetere.
This event provides a unique opportunity to explore and consider clinical research and systemic practice, from both a practical and philosophical position. Is systemic training intrinsically research training and if there is so much common ground, why is research often seen as so difficult and unrewarding? We will review some of the significant issues in family therapy outcome research, and consider the benefits of practice research networks. During the workshop, we will identify common barriers to clinical research and explore how to encourage practitioners to take a more active part in designing and conducting research. This experiential workshop will explore your relationship to research, enable opportunities to consider your own ideas and research questions, and draw out the ways in which systemic research continues to shape and inform your clinical practice.
