Prezentare workshop-uri:

PROFESSIONAL LEADERSHIP IS WORKING ON THE BOUNDARY

Timisoara: January 09 - 10 - 11
Bucharest: September 24 - 25 - 26

When?

Trainer: Drs. Joost Levy, PTSTA- O and CTA - E

What is it about?

In this module we start to work with Eric Berne’s model of groups. In his model he gives a clear image of working with boundaries. We will explore Berne’s ideas and make connections with other models of groups like the developmental model of Pamela Levin, group developmental stages of Bruce Tuckman, the group process model of Wilfried Bion and Melanie Klein, and the attachment cycle of George Kohlrieser.

Following the theoretical presentation, we will focus on your own experiences with group development and see what the next step might be to take up personal and professional leadership.

There will also be time for supervision within the programme.

What is the relevance?

This module is about understanding how working on the boundaries of groups in organisations is a general focus for taking up leadership. This leadership may be in the role of manager, but also in the role as employee or professional worker, for example, doctors in a hospital or engineers in a building organisation. The more you can understand the complex mechanisms of organisational-developmental stages in which people are functioning, including yourself, the more influence you can take up in your specific role.

For whom is it of special interest?

For all people who work in small or large organisations who want to develop more influence in their specific roles. And to people who work professionally with people in organisations as manager, coach, consultant or therapist.

What will participants take away?

  • Knowledge about different group development models and how they relate to each other.
  • Experience in how resistance is executed in groups, how all behaviour is related to the task of the group and how all behaviour is an opportunity to get organisational development on the move.
  • The insight that personal leadership is very much related to group- and organisational behaviour.
  • The curiosity to know and experience more about this great topic.

Intuition or Script

Timisoara: February 06 - 07 - 08

When?

Trainer: Anne-Marie Linnenkamp, PTSTA

What is it about?

Eric Berne wrote a lot about intuition. “Diagnosis is dependent, to some definite degree, on the use of intuition”. Examples of the use of intuition in diagnostics will be given and the intuitive process is further analyzed in this workshop. Intuition may have impact on how to estimate a situation, on relationship, approach and methodology and treatment. Intuition for Berne was not limited to the terrain of feelings; it was also a robust, reliable and valid method. Intuition is creative and when carefully treated under conditions it can contribute to efficiency and effectiveness.

Intuition, if checked and consciously used in reality, can become a source of knowledge. Berne advocated that intuition is a source for doing scientific research. So the issue of this workshop is how to distinguish the difference between intuition and script.

What is the relevance?

If professionals are aware of the fact that intuition can be checked in reality, and how they can distinguish the difference between their intuition and their Script, they can integrate this skill in their tasks as professionals and in personal life.

For whom is it of special interest?

The workshop will be of special interest to psychotherapists and all who use TA.

What will participants take away?

Participants will take away a clear view about the option to include their own checked intuition in therapy and in other situations.

POWER: HOW TO USE AND NOT ABUSE IT

Ethics (DTA) & Power

Timisoara: March 06 - 07 - 08
Bucharest: January 23 - 24 - 25

When

Trainer: Anne de Graaf TSTA (O)

What is it about ?

The psychoanalyst Alfred Adler was interested in how children seek to increase their power in the world. Growing into an environment in which everyone else seems to be bigger and more powerful, every child seeks to gain what it needs by the easiest route. A few decades ago Claude Steiner wrote an article with the title ‘Seven sources of power’. In that article he described seven sources of non-abusive power. These seven sources should be used together, he states, for each has its own unique capacity to bring about change. Having ‘options’ is a long time TA objective, having non-abusive options in ‘how you get it your way’ is vital to live a happy and healthy life (at home and at work).

What is the relevance?

This workshop will allow you to do research on the basic question: How do I get it my way? What lessons did I learn about how to use my power? Does your script allow you to be powerful? The seven non-abuse sources of power that Claude Steiner proposes can help you to (re-)develop the way you use your power.

For whom is it of special interest?

This workshop is of special interest for those who want to know more about the way they use their non-abusive power in the world. If you want to increase your awareness about how abusive power plays a role in your life and work, come to this workshop! If you want to take away options about how to use your power in an effective way, this workshop is de place to be.

What will participants take away?

You will leave this workshop with some great insights in the way you developed your power and some great ideas about how to use that non-abusive power more effectively!

N.B. On day one we will carry out an exploration of Ethics in the TA fields of Counselling, Education and Organisation.

STRESS MANAGEMENT: BODYWORK

Timisoara: April 10 - 11 - 12
Bucharest: October 23 - 24 - 25

When

Trainer: Marijke Wusten, PTSTA

What is it about?

This workshop is about life energy - the energy that flows through our body - and about the language of the body. In our body the keen observer can see, hear and feel what we are doing, what our needs are, how we feel in the here and now and also how we have been hurt in the past, and what we have decided as a result.

However, most of us did not learn to observe and to honour the signals. Most of us have learned to be strong and to ignore our body, to suppress the signals or to discount them, thus blocking our life energy. Participants of the workshop will learn-through exercises, meditation and theory- to become sensitive to the language of their body again and so enhance their life energy. Through TA concepts we will explore and clarify the boundaries and possibilities of bodywork.

What is the relevance?

It is through our body that we are here in this world. In our body we feel the joy and also the pain of being alive; we don’t want the pain, though. Maybe as a child we were not allowed to feel anger or sadness or fear. Maybe now, later in life we just choose to push away unwanted feelings. Anyhow, at a certain time in life we started patterns of suppressing feelings, ignoring unmet needs, discounting the resulting stress. Individuals may experience ‘deadening’ the body in order not to feel. They may develop armour to protect against the pain, requiring more energy over the years to maintain the protection. This strategy blocks the pain but also blocks the joy of life. In this way more stress is created and results in exhaustion, burn-out or illness.

For all of us it is important to understand our patterns of blocking pain and hurt, to feel and understand our body signals. Only then can we start to release old feelings, freeing ourselves of the armour, opening fully to life again. One of the ways to do this is through working with the body.

For whom is it of special interest?

This workshop is of special interest for people who want to learn about life energy, body signals, and body language of themselves and also of the people around them. In short: for people working with people.

What will participants take away?

After this workshop you will hopefully be full of admiration for the miracle that our body is. You will be more sensitive to the signals of your body and act on them. And for when your own life energy or that of the people around you is low you‘ll have many options for change

‘SCRIPT - BOUND’ IDENTITY

Timisoara: May 08 - 09 - 10
Bucharest: December 18 - 19 - 20

When

Trainer: Hélène Cadot, P.TSTA (P)

What is it about?

This workshop is about becoming familiar with the complexities of identity, guided by a few significant authors: E.Erikson, Berne, Winnicott.

Transactional Analysis has been proposing, thanks to the first research by Eric Berne (in the sixties) invaluable insights and models to grasp how unconscious script-bound dynamics build, characterize and drive people’s identities and interactions.

What is the relevance?

The workshop material accounts for a lot of uneasy feelings like isolation, feeling like a prisoner, the chronic fear of being inappropriate, unappreciated or misunderstood and also for feelings of wholeness, integration, cohesiveness, joy, relatedness . . . we have to grasp what lies in-between !

For whom is it of special interest?

  • For any curious person wanting to open himself/herself to the ‘maze’ of various factors shaping his/her current identity and to get new perspectives
  • For the psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, psychiatrists, professors who can enhance and enlarge their perceptions and refine their understanding of those complex dynamics
  • For the training students, who can get acquainted with Berne’s original findings and thoughts regarding the visible and invisible Script dynamics connected to identity issues

What will participants take away?

  • The goal is for the participants to leave this workshop feeling stimulated, enjoying new insights, knowledge, shared thoughts and experience.
  • Participants will have been presented with different models that are useful to apprehend and work with various identity issues (intrapsychic, interpersonal, group)

ETHICS (p) & RE-DECISION WORK

Timisoara: June 12 - 13 - 14
Bucharest: February 20 - 21 - 22

When?

Trainer: Dave Spenceley, TSTA

What is it about?

Ethics: Understanding and applying ethical principals in your everyday practice. My aim will be to introduce you to some of the key ethical values used in TA. So that in using the EATA code of ethics it will become a useful resource for your professional practice.

Redecision work: The joy of being a TA psychotherapist is I believe most reflected in Bob and Mary Goulding’s major contribution to TA practice and theory. My aim will be for you to understand the basic principles and practice of re-decision work and to understand how the theory of re-decision therapy can be developed to incorporate other concepts such as transference.

What is the relevance?

Ethics is central to all TA practice…

Redecision therapy is one of the major schools of TA and provides all TA practitioners with excellent tools for understanding their client’s process and for being effective in their practice.

For whom is it of special interest?

The ethics section of this workshop is essential for all TA practitioners… while the re-decision work is most often associated with effective change work in psychotherapy.

What will participants take away?

An enthusiasm for ethics and the EATA code of ethics that you might well not have known you had before the workshop!

From the re-decision part of the workshop you will learn some very effective skills for working with clients who want to change their lives.

THE WORKING CLIMATE

PSYCHOLOGICAL GAMES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM?

Timisoara: September 11 - 12 - 13
Bucharest: May 08 - 09 - 10

When?

Trainer: Anne de Graaf TSTA (O)

What is it about?

If the employees go blithely to their work, eager for the day ahead, and return home feeling energized and happy about what they’ve done, the organisation achieves: better results; better service to customers; a pleasant, productive atmosphere; and lower absenteeism. Moreover, the employees feel more engaged with the organisation and are less inclined to seek employment elsewhere.

What is the relevance?

Eric Berne’s book ‘Games people play’ made TA world famous. He succeeded in giving his readers useful information about not effective patterns in their communication. In this workshop we’ll see what Berne had to say that spoke to so many people around the world. We will go over what has been written about games in later TA literature. One important lesson will be at the centre of this workshop: People play games in order to avoid a real encounter!

For whom is it of special interest?

This workshop is of special interest for those who want to know more about their own game playing. They can improve the quality of the relationships they have at home and at work by gong for the real encounter.

What will participants take away?

You will leave this workshop with some great insights into your personality both how we can be effective and ineffective and insights into how you create intimacy in your life and work. You will get some great ideas about how to use those insights to create better, more rewarding, relationships at home and at work.

RELATIONAL TA

Timisoara: October 09 - 10 - 11
Bucharest: April 23 - 24 - 25

When

Trainer: Birgitta Heiller, TSTA

What is it about?

Over the last 20 year, a change has emerged in Transactional Analysis that reflects a change in psychoanalysis and a convergence between the psychoanalytic and humanistic fields of psychotherapy. TA is unique in that it incorporates four different fields of applications, and, while the change first appeared in the psychotherapy realm the implications are also evident in organisational, educational and counselling work. The shift is often referred to as a change from a “1 person” to a “2 person psychology”, making the practitioner (in whichever field) a more active participant in the endeavour. The analysis of transference makes way for working in the transference, and the existence of counter transference is seen not as a hindrance or obstacle but as an important aspect which informs the process of human relations work.

What is the relevance?

Instead of treating ‘enactments’ as unfortunate accidents which ideally shouldn’t happen, the relational stance suggests that they are inevitable, and that rupture and repair of relationships is crucial for the progress of clients in whichever setting.

For whom is it of special interest?

My experience is chiefly clinical, hence the focus will be on long term clinical work. However, there is more and more material emerging which utilises the relational stance in other settings, so counsellors, organisational consultants and educators should benefit equally.

What will participants take away?

An awareness of relational dynamics, as seen from a 2-person psychology stance, where the influence between people is inevitably mutual and situations co-created. Increased awareness of relational dynamics which are seen as inevitable and productive, rather than professional ‘failures’. The skill is how to contain one’s own response enough to facilitate growth and change through the repair of the relationship.

Differences based on OK bases

Timisoara: November 06 - 07 - 08

When?

Trainer: Anne-Marie Linnenkamp, PTSTA

What is it about?

This workshop is about how we can accept difference and stay in an I+ U+ relationship.

Sometimes it is easy to accept the I+ U+ base between the other and me on the unconditional level, even if the difference between myself and the other person is obvious. There are also situations or relationships in which we tend to enter a pattern (determined by script) in which the I+U+ is lost. In those situations people can discount the differences between themselves and generalize or minimise them, as ways to survive the situation. In this way we can enter a vicious circle in which we can’t and don’t accept realistic differences; we discount aspects of reality, step out of I+ U+. In this workshop we will research what type of interventions we can do for ourselves and what type of interventions for clients at different levels of the treatment to step out this circle into accepting the differences and to stimulate the positive life position.

What is the relevance?

Participants will gain insights into the process that contribute to the acceptance of differences. Participants will learn how to encourage the process of accepting the differences with clients.

For whom is it of special interest?

The workshop will be of special interest to psychotherapists and others who want to learn about how to handle differences between people.

What will participants take away?

Participants will learn how to diagnose and what type of interventions can stimulate accepting differences between people on an OK basis in different stages.

TEACHING (AND) TA: NEXT STEPS IN EDUCATIONAL TA

Timisoara: December 11 - 12 - 13
Bucharest: November 20 - 21 - 22

When?

Trainer: Giles Barrow, TSTA (E)

What is it about?

The workshop will have two dimensions. First, continuing on from the previous year programme, there will be input on using TA with children and families from an educational perspective. We will look closer at ideas from Jean Illsley Clarke, Ken and Elizabeth Mellor in addition to more recent material from UK educators teaching TA to students. The second dimension will be to introduce more advanced TA theory from educational TA, including the Health System as published by Trudi Newton (TAJ, 2008).

What is the relevance?

The material will be relevant to those practitioners working with children and young people and for those involved in adult learning. It will enhance participants’ theoretical understanding and be especially relevant to those trainees who are looking toward qualification in terms of reflecting on personal learning experience.

For whom is it of special interest?

The first dimension will be of interest to practitioners working with children and parents. Teachers, youth workers, parent educators will all find the material thought provoking and helpful for developing their practice. The second dimension will appeal to trainees from across the fields of application and especially those who are considering educational transactional analysis as their chosen field.

What will participants take away?

People will leave the workshop with ideas to take back to their practice and with questions in their mind about how to enhance their own learning experience. Participants will also have enjoyed the opportunity to share insights and ideas from their own work and begun to create a personal framework for their practice.

Co-operate is two times Autonomy

Bucharest: March 20 - 21 - 22

When

Trainer: Anne-Marie Linnenkamp, PTSTA

What is it about?

Cooperation is a way to spend time and a way to relate to each other. We do this in different ways. In this workshop we will clarify what conditions are necessary for co-operation with autonomy for both participants, a synergetic process to create the best outcome. We’ll also exercise skills to stimulate positive cooperation and process.

We know that collaboration can also lead to old, fixed patterns, or Script. If we know and can clarify what conditions are responsible, we will have a tool to change our own attitude. In this workshop we’ll also focus on how we can stimulate positive cooperation with our clients.

What is the relevance?

Improving our own co-operation style can impact our work and lives positively. This is relevant because we cooperate in our roles as counselor, manager, teacher, therapist and we manage cooperation processes.

For whom is it of special interest?

The workshop will be of special interest to counselors and everyone who wants to manage good cooperation processes.

What will participants take away?

Participants will take away a clear view how different styles relate to autonomy, a reflection on their own cooperation style and what types of interventions can enlarge synergetic cooperation.

Out OF symbiosis into relationship

Bucharest June 26 - 27 - 28

When

Trainer: Anne-Marie Linnenkamp, PTSTA

What is it about?

As human beings We want to relate and to be attached we take. The first steps in the process of bonding as children. Sometimes we stop developing if we are confronted with strong barriers to bonding., Then we tend to repeat what we learned before to survive. “A script is an attempt to repeat in derivative form E.Berne”.

Sometimes we notice special patterns in bonding related to special Scripts. The Shiff’s described “symbiosis” as a particular pattern and Berne also wrote about the difference between healthy and symbiotic relations, and how we can cure this part of the Script.

In this workshop we will found out what types of bonding styles we have developed. We will also do exercises on how we can stimulate the development of effective styles of bonding for ourselves and our clients. We’ll focus on what types of transactions lead to old patterns and what can stimulate autonomy.

What is the relevance?

All people have the natural need to belong, to be attached. For all people who work and live with others it is relevant to know how to support the development of a bonding process. For some it is more interesting to know how to stimulate a bonding process between teams for others it’s more relevant to know how this can be done intra psychotherapeutic.

For whom is it of special interest?

The workshop will be of special interest to psychotherapists and all who want to use TA and support autonomous bonding.

What will participants take away?

Participants will take away understanding how we learn to relate and how this is a part of development. They can diagnose what type of bonding style people have developed and know what type of transactions for the different disciplines are appropriate.
