“So, what is this idea of “culture” all about and is there any point in trying to tease it out? We think that it is, not least because in mental health services both the term “culture” and the concept “culture” are put to so many uses. It often serves as a receptacle for all that we take to be good and true about ourselves and assume about others, without necessarily requiring us to think about and clarify the complexity we have just referred to. This taking for granted is dangerous, because it is precisely in the spaces where culture seems to be located, and where, without reflection, we assume we know what we are talking about, that discrimination and racism creep in either in a deliberate or in an unconscious way”. Dr Inga- Britt Krause, Culture and Madness, 2015
This session will be an interactive afternoon with discussions focused on the location of “culture”. It will be led by Dr Inga-Britt Krause who is a Training and Development Consultant at the Tavistock and Portman Foundation Trust and a Consultant Systemic Psychotherapist. She first trained as a Social Anthropologist and teaches widely, nationally, and internationally, on the subject of social science and psychotherapy, and the place of culture and race in clinical practice and theory.
We will start promptly at 2pm with a workshop led by Dr Inga-Britt Krause. After a short break (from 3.45-4pm) there will be an opportunity for supervision. The event will be hosted by Zoom.
