Small Group Seminars and Consultation (SGSC)
The Sydney Institute for Psychoanalysis offers a series of consultations and small group seminars, both in the room and remotely by video-conference to participants in other states, and overseas. SGSC seminars complement the existing short courses (including PPC) run by the Sydney Institute.
SGSC sessions are self-contained professional development activities, and a supportive opportunity for clinicians to ‘learn from experience.’ Assistance is available for clinicians who want to follow a pathway of seminars to develop specific clinical interests, and consultation groups can be tailored to requests.
These groups explore the use of psychodynamic thinking in diverse areas, including clinical work with many types of patients (mother-infant, child, adolescent, couple, and adult work); clinical reading groups and pathways to training in short term psychodynamic psychotherapy; observational study groups and different types of small groups (inter-vision, and supervision) to facilitate the development of different perspectives.
Groups of 2-10 clinicians meet in person or by video-conference with a member of Sydney or Melbourne Institute for Psychoanalysis.
