This unit builds on the Long Conversation 1A and 1B (PSTY5207 and 5208), providing supervision, continuing in semester 2 with The Long Conversation 2B (PSTY5210) to support the clinical experience of running a second intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy of 2 sessions per week in the Conversational Model, while continuing supervision of a first case. Individual and small group supervision will centre on listening to audiotaped sessions of the psychotherapies of patients brought from the student's workplace or allocated from the Westmead Psychotherapy Program, discussing assessment, formulation and the establishment of frame and contract, and the relevant initial, middle and ending phases of therapy. Supervision will focus on the microprocesses of the interaction including attunement, affect, transference, countertransference and co-transference, states of mind and language. The student will develop and refine skills in sensitive, responsive and reflective practice to foster the conversational flow of the therapy, the development of the therapeutic relationship and the patient's self, and higher levels of reflective capacity and coherence to allow the processing of trauma and the integration of traumatic experience. The way the difficult past repeats itself in the therapy and is then addressed therapeutically will be explored. This unit represents a higher order of knowledge, skills and attitudes in psychotherapy, preparing the student for specialist psychotherapy practice.
