***************
The Clinical Site is a series of clinical workshops for practicing psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, and those at advanced stages of their training. Each workshop is facilitated by a senior member of The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, who will lead a group in an exploration of a clinical topic of particular interest to them. Each meeting of the Clinical Site therefore represents a one-off working group, with participants encouraged to bring and share their own clinical experience and ideas. The workshops are limited to approximately 20 participants, and meet in-person in the upstairs meeting room at Swedenborg House. Suggested reading will be circulated before the event.

The Clinical Site: Stephen Gee ‘The Riddle of Mindfulness’
Meditation practices have become widespread in recent years. Can they help us in our clinical work?
Freud recommended ‘evenly suspended attention,’ Bion to listen ‘without memory or desire.’
How can these ‘techniques’ affect the session and the way we might intervene or interpret?
You are welcome to bring your experiences of recent work with your patients. We will discuss and take the opportunity throughout the seminar to do a little meditation.
Stephen Gee has a private psychoanalytic practice in South London. He has practiced meditation in various Buddhist traditions over the last 35 years.
