Three Associating: Adventures in Relational Psychoanalytic Supervision
af Gill Straker, Rachael Burton, Andrew Geeves
Episode 10: I'm Glad My Mum Died (The Encore)
Om denne podcast
Three Associating is a podcast that offers the listener a peek behind the closed doors of therapists working within a relational psychoanalytic model. Join Rachael and Andrew as they explore with their supervisor Gill how their own hidden feelings and motivations influence the therapeutic process and affect their patients. In each episode, a relational dilemma arising in the context of work with a fictitious patient is explored. While reasons of confidentiality and privacy mean that none of the patients we discuss are real, the relational dynamics are.
