Overview
In this four-hour online CPD, Philip Stokoe will expand on the thinking in his new book, The Curiosity Drive: Our Need for Inquisitive Thinking (Phoenix Publishing House), and will outline his groundbreaking work on curiosity over many decades with individuals, couples and groups.
After Bion, Britton and James Fisher, he views curiosity as being of vital importance in human interaction and the development of consciousness, and of crucial interest to clinicians of all kinds.
In this online workshop, he will address the way in which curiosity is key to the development of the conscious mind, and the implications of impediments to this process. And he will look at various therapeutic applications of this thinking, focusing on work in the consulting room, including with borderline patients, and the particular challenges the therapist can face in keeping curiosity alive.
There will be the opportunity to engage in group discussion, and for attendees to bring relevant clinical work or clinical difficulties in this area.
