Our Guest Speakers: Dr Jay Stewart MBE and Russell J. Thomas Discussion on gender diversity and gender bias is never far from the headlines, but as practitioners, are we up to date with current knowledge? How might these factors impact on ourselves and our clients within a therapeutic setting? This conference aims to give practitioners in the caring and pastoral professions a clearer understanding of gender diversity and the opportunity to identify and mitigate bias within those settings. Everyone is welcome.

Spring Conference 2014
Sat. 3rd May 2014
9.15am-4.45pm
Loss and Significant Change
John Bowlby introduced Attachment Theory to the world of psychotherapy in the 1950’s, and it has never left ‘centre stage’. By combining the innovative methodology of Mary Salter Ainsworth, it has been able to withstand the test of time, leading to the quote by Martin Seager (a recent TAP conference speaker) that, ‘Attachment Theory is probably the best attested concept in psychology’. However the developmental work has never stood still, and as John Bowlby wished, the theory should be regarded as a concept on which to build. New perspectives and research are influencing the current direction of the theory, which will increasingly affect the work we do as therapists.
Our speakers at the conference were;
Sir Richard Bowlby: - who gave us a unique insight into his Father’s work.
Dr Una McCluskey: - who presented clinical applications to demonstrate how modern Attachment Theory is being used today.

Dialogues Around Depression
Concerns, Critiques and Solutions
Depression continues to blight the lives of millions. In recent years CBT has become the 'treatment of choice' by NICE and is now integral to the IAPT programme. But is it the only way? How does it compare with other modes of therapy? Is treatment more about the therapeutic relationship or the technique? How do you decide what is best for your clients or patients?
Speakers
Martin Seager
Depression: from a medicalised to a psychologically minded approach.
