Allan Frater is a psychotherapist (UKCPreg), supervisor and author of ‘Waking Dreams: Imagination in Psychotherapy & Everyday Life’ (Transpersonal Press, 2021). Since 2011 he has been teaching at the Psychosynthesis Trust in London. His current work-in-progress is a new book on psychosynthesis emphasising the role of imagination and creativity within its theory and practice. Originally from a small village outside Edinburgh.
The psychosynthesis of Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974) shaped the direction of both ‘humanistic’ and ‘transpersonal’ psychotherapy.
This workshop will offer an experiential introduction to the principles and practice of psychosynthesis via slideshow presentation, discussions, live demonstrations and practicum opportunities.
In particular the workshop will bring a psychosynthesis perspective to navigating the uncertainty, spontaneity and wonder of creative change and transformation. While the creative process cannot be made to happen there are things that can be done to best facilitate it happening.
The particular learning outcomes of which will be:
-An exploration of the therapeutic process as a creative process
-A five-stage model to help notice, validate and work with creative process within any given therapy session
-An appreciation of the importance of experiential work to creative process
-A principial understanding of what makes a psychosynthesis technique a creative technique (and also what makes it not creative)
