Strange Fascination:
Disability psychotherapy in forensic settings The eleventh in a series of one-day workshops Friday 11th February 2011: 10.00 am – 5.00 pm Charity Centre, Directory of Social Change 24 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2DP
The workshop will examine the notion of forensic work with patients with intellectual disabilities, both in secure and in community settings. Starting from the perspective of patients and moving onto to the experiences of therapists and clinical supervisors working with patients who have traditionally fallen through the net of forensic provision, we will explore how possible it is to create a psychotherapeutic space in which the duality of disability and forensic aggression can be tolerated, thought about and processed. We will consider the notion of disability itself (including autism) within the forensic sphere, and what it means to bring one’s own experiences of disability and otherness to the work we do. Speakers include: Dr Valerie Sinason, Director, Clinic for Dissociative Studies Dr Earl Hopper, Psychoanalyst, Group Analyst and Organisational Consultant
