We have a stand at the BACP Private Practice Conference!Join us on Saturday 14 September 2024This year’s Private Practice conference has been developed by Private Practice committee members (who all work in private practice) in collaboration with BACP and will explore some of the most difficult problems that can emerge for therapists of all modalities.From ethical dilemmas, where there seems to be no obvious answer, to the kind of unexpected crisis that can prove overwhelming, such as the death of a client by suicide, the threat of stalking or harassment, a legal request for your patient notes or a complaint of malpractice.We’ll also look at areas that therapists – and supervisors - may struggle with, including finding effective ways to discuss the race construct, racism and difference. Finally, we’ll explore the growing number of technological challenges to the therapeutic frame.We’ll consider how this can spill over into compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and help you to understand your own limitations to prevent burn out using practical and self-help measures.This event will take place at ETC Venues St Paul's, 200 Aldersgate St, Barbican, London, EC1A 4HD.www.bacp.co.uk ...
