No Person is an Island - Race, ethnicity, culture and society:
A Transcultural perspective to psychotherapy.
Workshop with Colin Lago
North Wales Border – Glyndwr University, Wrexham
24th April 2010
How does culture and society shape us in our development, our relationships, and our attitudes to others and what are the implications of these early influences upon for us, both as individuals and as therapists?
A day workshop looking at the challenges confronting us:
- at the individual level, (personal development),
- to working as a therapist (professional development)
- in the context of contemporary society, which is multicultural, multi-ethnic, multiracial
and comprises multiple values.
An opportunity to take a step back and reflect upon these life shaping forces and to consider their relevance to the therapeutic task.
