The RCPsych Trainee-Trainer Medical Psychotherapy Summer Conference, Leeds
Venue: NSCAP, Leeds, on Friday, 11 July 2014.
THEME: IDENTITY: SAME YET DIFFERENT
We are pleased to announce the Trainee-Trainer Summer Conference in Medical Psychotherapy,
which will be held in the Northern School of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy, Leeds on 11 July,
2014.
This is a one-day conference open to trainees and trainers interested/involved in medical
psychotherapy, as well as other medical faculties that may find the work of medical psychotherapy
relevant to their practice. We would encourage trainees to use this opportunity to invite your
trainers to attend the day with you.
We will use Psychoanalytic thinking to explore the identity of a Medical Psychotherapist with
reference to sexuality, language/culture, gender/pregnancy. The conference theme is 'same yet
different’, looking at how the experience of difference shapes the identity of the therapist. The
programme hopes to combine a morning session on rich and varied experiences of senior medical
psychotherapists with clinical/case presentations in the afternoon on senior trainee experiences.
This is a great opportunity to meet trainees and trainers nationally and engage in a lively debate
about how therapist identity influences clinical work.
The detailed programme will be posted on the RCPsych website in the ‘events’ section shortly, with
details regarding application.
