A 2-day online course

Friday 7th June, 9:00 – 12:30 BST

What is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)?

CST is an evidence-based group treatment for people with mild to moderate dementia. It involves 14 or more sessions of stimulating, themed activities, based around more complex principles including learning theory and person-centred care. CST can be extended into a longer-term treatment and can be offered to a range of clients including outpatients and people in residential or day care.

What does the training involve?

Training is interactive, involving group exercises, role-play, and video observation as well as some ‘teaching’. It is aimed to equip people with the knowledge required to deliver group CST in their work setting.

Who is the trainer?

The training is led by Dr Helen Donovan, a consultant clinical psychologist who has held senior positions since 2004 in the NHS in Bedfordshire & Luton including developing and providing services to people with dementia. She has been involved in CST and Maintenance CST research projects with UCL and has extensive experience of supervising and delivery of CST groups, and providing CST training in the UK and internationally.

Twenty years ago the European Psychoanalytic Federation (EPF) created a project inspired by the realization that many years of meetings and conferences had largely not succeeded in enabling psychoanalysts to share with each other what they do in their consulting rooms.
 
This conference will provide an opportunity to share the findings of the EPF project as reported in a forthcoming book, Knowing What Psychoanalysts Do and Doing What Psychoanalysts Know.
 

Booking for the main conference and clinical seminars will close 12.00 (BST) on Thursday 13 June 2024.

In-person: UCL, Bloomsbury Campus, London, and online via Zoom.
