Description
This talk offers a brief tour of long-term psychodynamic work within secure settings. I start by setting the scene about the interpersonal dynamics of secure settings, explaining the continuing need for us as clinicians to re(discover) the ‘basics’ of a therapeutic approach. I then illustrate what long-term therapeutic work can be like within secure settings. This includes the importance of considering the patient’s degree of integration of mental structures. Finally, I move into more applied psychodynamic work, presenting various dimensions of facilitating Reflective Practice Groups
