Our seminars are free of charge both to "Berne" members and to non-members. In each seminar, the presenter(s) share their new thinking about a topic in transactional analysis or a closely related field. There is plenty of time for discussion, questions, and the interchange and generation of ideas.
All the seminars will be on Saturday evenings.You are invited to arrive at 7 p.m. for a drink and snack before the seminar (bring food to share, if you wish: “The Berne” provides light refreshments with wine and soft drinks). The seminar presentation itself runs from 7.30 – 9.00 p.m. (Please note that all these timings are half an hour earlier than our traditional seminar times). Topics and presenters will be as follows:
24 May: “Time-Frames,
Theory and Therapy”
Ian Stewart BA PhD MPracNLP
TSTA(P)
The three time-frames are
past, present and future. In this seminar we shall see how attention to
time-frames can deepen our understanding of TA theory and enhance the effectiveness
of TA therapy.
14 June: “Intuition”
Hazel Hirst MSc(Ed) MPracNLP
TSTA(P)
How do we know what we know?
We will explore the relationship between intuition, knowledge and decision-making.
12 July: “Eric Berne ‘Live’”
Adrienne Lee BA MPracNLP
TSTA(P)
We will have the opportunity
to see and discuss some archive DVDs of Eric Berne talking about transactional
analysis.
(There is no seminar in August)
20 September: “Becoming
More Ourselves: Identity and TA”
Ian Stewart BA PhD MPracNLP
TSTA(P)
Conventionally in TA, personal
change is seen as requiring a “movement out of script”. But what if the
change involves becoming a different person – literally, changing who you
are? This seminar explores the concept of personal identity and
how we can work with it in TA therapy and counselling.
The seminars are held at our training centre, Berne House, situated in the village of Kegworth, about ten miles south of Nottingham and just one mile from Junction 24 on the M1. Berne House is No.29 on Derby Road, which is the main A6 through Kegworth. We have our own off-road parking space. If you would like more detailed directions to the seminars, please call us.
