Over time he learnt that individuals with personality disorders/difficulties were highly misunderstood not only in the larger society but also within the mental health system. He is also a TCEPT-UK supervisor\, individual and group psychotherapist\, and a staff member on the International Network of Living Learning Experience.\n\nShama Parkhe\nIndividual & Group Psychotherapist\, Psychodrama Practitioner\, Clinical Director\, Hank Nunn Institute\nShama believes that one’s cultural and social systems are highly influential in the development of their personality. For the past 6 years\, she has been working with individuals experiencing personality difficulties in an individual and group setting using both psychodrama and group analysis. She also offers training and clinical supervision to students and young professionals. She is a staff member to the International Network of Living Learning Experience.\n\nIshani Badyal\nIndividual and Group Psychotherapist\, Hank Nunn Institute\nShe completed her Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Mental Health Action Trust) in 2016 and has been working at Hank Nunn Institute since. She is currently training to be a group analyst. Ishani’s long-term goal is to open a mental health cafe that serves as a community center probably near the ocean or at the base of a mountain or both.\n  \n \nNeelam Khawani-Connett\nNeelam has a diagnosis of\, and lived experience of\, personality disorder (PD); she graduated from a Therapeutic Community (TC) in South East England 10 years ago\, having battled with her own depression from a very young age.  The skill-set she has developed allows Neelam to work collaboratively alongside mental health clinicians to deliver training in this subject to professionals\, to raise awareness of PD in the U.K. and in India. She has worked with the services to meet with clients to encourage them to engage with therapy and seek treatment.  Neelam is also a group facilitator and helped establish the new TC in Buckinghamshire 4 years ago and to develop the Therapeutic Environments Practitioner Course (TCEPT) which is now due to start its 4th academic year.  She also participated in various activities with the Royal College of Psychiatrists in London as part of the Community of Communities Project (CofC) and the Enabling Environments (EE) Project\, leading TC reviews and EE assessments in the U.K. and Europe\, as well as being an active member of the Advisory Group at the College.  Since relocating to India 3 years ago\, Neelam has started an online support group for British and foreign nationals that became stranded in Goa and in India due to the Coronavirus pandemic\, which is still ongoing 14 months later and has over 4000 members; she has also come on board with HNI and the Mosaic community and is a member of GreenCloud (part of Embrace TC in Berkshire)\, both of whom meet weekly\, online.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nKrishna Hemaraj\nkrishna@hanknunninstitute.org

SUMMARY:ReadAbsorbThink! Lecture - Who do you think you are?
DESCRIPTION:The dilemma of claiming authority among early-career therapists\nWhere does authority lie and what are the means by which one is able to claim it? Even if one claims authority\, one is not sure whether or not they are telling the ‘truth’ – Who decides? What are the consequences of not claiming one’s authority? These have been some of the questions that have lingered on my mind over the course of my development as a psychotherapist. I am aware that my peers and colleagues have also grappled with similar concerns in their own journeys which leads me to believe that it is an inevitable part of the process of becoming. Over the course of my ruminations – several of which I will share with you – I have considered the ‘therapist’s insecurities’\, aspects of the larger context within which the work is done\, some of the ways in which these anxieties are managed by individuals and certain influences that have helped me in this process.\n\nREGISTER\n\n\nZoom link will be sent post confirmation of registration through full payment*\n*all payments are non-refundable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is it for ?\n\n\n\nReadAbsorbThink! or RAT! is an academic space for those interested in the field of mental health – service users\, psychologists\, psychiatrists\, psychotherapists\, counselors\, social workers\, psychiatric nurses\, caregivers\, or anyone from the larger community – to explore\, understand and re-think themes related to mental health and psychotherapy.

SUMMARY:ReadAbsorbThink! Lecture - The Inheritance of FEAR
DESCRIPTION:Fear…an emotion known to us all and yet spoken about in secrecy.\n“First I learned to be afraid and then I learned to hide the fear. Fear is essential for my survival. But is it only with fear that I can live my life…or rather be alive? ‘Be careful…don’t do that…it’s only because we love you’\, they say. Why is it then that I feel the fear freeze me and not the love as I take steps towards being brave?”\nI write this piece in an attempt to create a space for us to give a voice to our fears. While there is enough and more scientific evidence highlighting the genetic transmission of fears (especially phobias)\, I would like to use this opportunity to explore and understand how fears are inherited and manifested socially and culturally in the guise of subtle messages of love and care.\n\nREGISTER\n\n\nZoom link will be sent post confirmation of registration through full payment*\n*all payments are non-refundable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is it for ?\n\n\n\nReadAbsorbThink! or RAT! is an academic space for those interested in the field of mental health – service users\, psychologists\, psychiatrists\, psychotherapists\, counselors\, social workers\, psychiatric nurses\, caregivers\, or anyone from the larger community – to explore\, understand and re-think themes related to mental health and psychotherapy.

SUMMARY:ReadAbsorbThink! Lecture - Group Therapy as a Nomadic Experience
DESCRIPTION:Placing emotions and relationships at the center of human experience\, this lecture throws up some questions on the nature of experience in a therapy group. Keeping in mind that the therapy group exists in a social context\, members and facilitators seem to pitch their tents on the fringes and what emerges is a dilemma of belonging – “Do I fit in”?\nThe process of dialogue creates an opportunity to reflect on where one comes from – their roots – and the search unravels the complexities of our modern minds and our ancient hearts. We are all travellers who stay in this group doing what nomads do\, creating a pasture\, helping each other\, and sharing resources. And then when the time comes\, we move on\, perhaps to other pastures\, finding a place to fit in\, within rather than on the fringes of\, society.\n\nREGISTER\n\n\nZoom link will be sent post confirmation of registration through full payment*\n*all payments are non-refundable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThemes\n\n\n\nThis lecture will focus on exploring the following themes and attempt to answer these questions from individual and collective perspectives.\n – Are therapy groups a nomadic pasture where people come in to pitch their tent for a while before moving on ?\n – The struggle to include and be included at the personal\, social\,community and societal level.\n – Desiring to be wanted and feeling wanted: A struggle for the search of belonging.\n – What sets us out in the search for a home ?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is it for ?\n\n\n\nReadAbsorbThink! or RAT! is an academic space for those interested in the field of mental health – service users\, psychologists\, psychiatrists\, psychotherapists\, counselors\, social workers\, psychiatric nurses\, caregivers\, or anyone from the larger community – to explore\, understand and re-think themes related to mental health and psychotherapy.

SUMMARY:PsyChaat '20 | Elephants In The Room
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, Kairos organizes an annual event aimed at addressing concerns regarding our mental health. This year\, Kairos wants to talk about the things that go unsaid\, the thoughts that don’t come into the light\, and the emotions that get swept under the rug.\nWhat happens when we delve deep into the collective unconscious?\nHow have our identities intersected with our mental health?\nIs it possible to name the hidden through song?\nWhat does it mean to associate financial resources with mental health care? \n\nREGISTER\n\n\nZoom link will be sent post confirmation of registration through full payment*\n*all payments are non-refundable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is it for ?\n\n\n\n For anybody who wants to discuss things that go under the rug\, go unsaid and unexplored.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModules\n\n\n\n\nInto The Shadows | Social Dreaming\nTime : 9:00am – 11:00am\nFacilitator : Shama Parkhe\nDescription : Participants are invited to share their dreams from previous nights or weeks. Everyone is encouraged to provide associations for these dreams\, letting them move through the room seeking resonance. The invitation is to be aware of your thoughts and feelings as they come and go\, and share whatever you wish to. A discussion will follow where we will look at the associations and connections (created by the group) and attempt to understand them against the larger socio-cultural context. The only ask is to be honest and open in saying whatever comes to your mind.\n\n\n \nCloak of Invisibility: Intersectional Identities & Mental Health (Panel)\nTime : 11:30am – 1:00pm\nFacilitator : Hena Faqurudheen\nDescription : We are inviting service-users to reflect and speak on the intersection of identity with their experiences with the Indian mental health system. Three panellists will speak from lived experiences of caste\, disability\, and queerness in conjunction with mental health.\nThe panel discussion is 50 minutes in duration; the moderator will pose 2-3 questions for all panellists\, in dialogue with each other. The remaining time is split as 30 mins for audience Q&A and 10 mins for conclusion. The event will be ISL accessible in an effort to be inclusive; it will also be recorded for editing and putting up on our platforms.\n\n\n \nThe Song I Won’t Sing: Spoken Word/Poetry\nTime : 3:30pm-4:30pm\nFacilitator : Arushi Bradu\nDescription : The workshop aims to encourage people to look at their personal elephants in the room. Words and rhyme are used as mediums of acknowledging and expressing these thoughts. The idea is to engage with the group\, a representation of the outside world\, one from which we tend to hide these very emotions and thoughts. It is to encourage a conversation or bringing forth of these challenging thoughts\, through words and poetry.\n\n\n \nChailogue: Money Matters in Mental Health\nTime : 6:00pm-8:00pm\nFacilitator : Pratiksha Tewari\nDescription : The workshop aims to encourage people to look at their personal elephants in the room.

SUMMARY:Assessments & Formulations in the context of Psychotherapy

SUMMARY:The Changing Nature of Groups
DESCRIPTION:In the context of Group Analytic Psychotherapy\, groups are ever-evolving and riddled with questions. Are 2 people a group? How do groups evolve when new members join? When one member leaves\, how do others left behind deal with the uncertainty and discomfort of not knowing what happened? What happens to the group when a member dies? Or if the facilitator dies? Does the group remain the same or does it change?\nCome join us for RAT!

SUMMARY:Dreams Under Turbulence - Online Experiential Group
DESCRIPTION:Dreams and their secret language have been the fascination of many for a long time now. While some of us have really vivid dreams and enjoy the stories they tell\, others have a hard time remembering. Often\, they reflect our present difficulties and help process feelings that are suppressed. In addition\, dreams also help us imagine new possibilities and alternative paths into the future. Perhaps this creative and visionary aspect of dreams will lead to us new ways of channeling the collective conscious in surviving and living a meaningful life through this ongoing socio-political and cultural turbulence.\n‘Dreams under turbulence’ is an online experiential space where a group of people come together to share dreams\, form associations\, discover the embedded meanings\, expand the social thought process\, and make the invisible visible. It is primarily a social group process where the focus is on the dream and not the dreamer. This is not a dream interpretation group\, although each of you may have your personal takeaways from the social process you engage in.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is for you if\n\n\n\n\n– You are fascinated by the mysetry around dreams\n– You wonder about the inherent meaning and purpose of your dreams\n– You enjoy a collective process of exploration\n– You have the desire to discover and learn something new\n– You wish to share and connect with the larger community\n– You are looking for a space to belong\n– You want to experience transformative thinking\n\nREGISTER\n\nZoom link will be sent post confirmation of registration through full payment*\n*all payments are non-refundable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\nMay – 9\, 16\, 23\, 30\nJune – 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\nJuly – 4\, 11\, 18\, 25\nKindly check your availability for all dates before registering\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\nSaturday 09:00 to 10:30 AM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n3 month Online Group – 12 Sessions\nEach session is for a duration of 90 minutes\n₹300 per session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the facilitator\n\n\n\n\nShama Parkhe\, Co-founder & Clinical Director\nPsychotherapist\, Psychodrama Practitioner\, Group Analyst in Training\nShama has been working with adults in group settings using both group analytic and psychodramatic methodology.

SUMMARY:Risk Assessment and Management In Psychotherapy - Series of 6 webinars
DESCRIPTION:As mental health professionals\, it can be challenging to work with patients who present with significant risk. While we may feel fairly confident in our abilities as clinicians\, a patient who is threatening to take his life can evoke strong feelings of anxiety. Such a situation can feel demanding and bring up questions about your role as a therapist. It can become quite challenging to reflect\, to draw boundaries and be able to provide support and containment without feeling overwhelmed. The 6 part webinar is designed​ keeping this experience in mind. The series​ will combine teaching and reflections on risk assessment and management as we have known​ it through our work and experience. Through this engagement\, we hope to address questions about the difference in roles\, crises and risks and structures that help with containment.​\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nObjectives\n\n\n\n\n– Understand and assess crises and the escalation of risk(s)\n\n– Learn how to draw a comprehensive risk management plan\n– Develop the capacity to provide support during crisis\n– Learn to work with a team of professionals\n\nREGISTER\n\n\nZoom link will be sent post confirmation of registration through full payment*\n*all payments are non-refundable\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is it for ?\n\n\n\nMental health professionals – Counselors\, therapists\, social workers\, clinical psychologists\, support workers – working with individuals who present with significant risks; such as self-harm\, harm to others\, suicidal ideation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\n\n\nBatch 1 – 6th May to 10th June\nEvery Wednesday 4:30 – 5:30 PM\n\n\nBatch 2 – 7th May to 11th June\n\n\nEvery Thursday 3:30 – 4:30 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n₹200 per session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n\n– Ishani Badyal\, Psychotherapist\n– Mohit Sharma\, Clinical Manager & Psychotherapist\n– Pratiksha Tewari\, Psychotherapist\n\n\nIshani\, Mohit\, and Pratiksha are a part of our risk management team and have been working with and supporting at-risk patients for over three years.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact\n\n\n\nKedar K Rao\nkedar@hanknunninstitute.org

SUMMARY:3rd Introductory Workshop - Group Analytic Psychotherapy

We cannot recreate the same experience virtually\, and therefore will not be offering the same online.\nHowever\, we are hosting two Meet & Greet + Q&A sessions on 18 and 19 April from 14:30 – 16:30.\nThis is an opportunity\n– to meet the Faculty as well as former students of the Foundation Course\n– to gain a basic understanding of Group Analysis\n– to understand the 4-5 year long training programme\, and\n– to learn about the process of qualifying as a Group Analyst\nFree and Open for all those interested in group work and group processes.\nTo register\, please contact anando@hanknunninstitute.org\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA precursor to the Foundation Course in Group Analytic Psychotherapy\n16 – 17 – 18 April 2020\nThis 3 day workshop offers participants the opportunity to experience being in small therapeutic groups. In addition\, the seminar sessions will introduce the basic principles of Group Analysis.\nThe intention of the workshop is twofold:\na) to help participants judge whether they would like to embark on a longer journey in group psychotherapy\,\nb) to get a taste of what might be expected of them if they were to enroll for the Foundation Year.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho is it for ?\n\n\n\nFor those interested and involved in working with groups\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Group Analysis ?\n\n\n\nGroup Analysis is a powerful therapeutic medium that focuses on the relationship between the individual and the group\, emphasizing the essentially social nature of human experience. Our philosophy is that as personal difficulties arise in groups\, groups are the best place to explore\, understand and try and resolve them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSome Learning Outcomes:\n\n\n\n– Recognize the effect of group dynamics on self and others\n– Increased self-awareness and self-reflexivity\n– Understand group dynamics from a Group-Analytic perspective\n– Understand the meaning of fundamental Group Analytic terms such as Dynamic   Administration\, Mirroring\, Resonance\, Matrix etc.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitators\n\n\n\n\nDr Farhad Dalal\, PhD\nPsychotherapist and Group Analyst\nHis first degree was in Physics.

SUMMARY:Taking the Group (really) Seriously - Online Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: I will begin by describing how and why I came to write Taking the Group Seriously. Through this ‘story’ I will flag up some of the questions about the human condition that I was struggling with at that time (and still continue do to!). I will then draw on the works of Norbert Elias and S.H.Foulkes to elaborate some of the key elements of Radical Group Analytic Theory\, specifically\, figuration\, power and the idea of existence as ‘process’.\n\nRegister\n\nZoom link will be sent to confirmed participants\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeminar Leader\nDr Farhad Dalal\, PhD\nHis first degree was in Physics. His first psychotherapy training in the early 1980s was in the Humanistic Traditions with the Minster Centre in London. He then trained with the Institute of Group Analysis (London)\, qualifying in 1991. He obtained his PhD in 2001. Previously he was an Associate Fellow on the DMan programme at the University of Hertfordshire’s Business School and Visiting Professor at the Open University in the Netherlands. He has published numerous papers on a number of subjects that include psychoanalysis\, group analysis\, racism\, politics and ethics\, as well as four books.\nAbout the book \nIn this critique and extension of the work of S.H.Foulkes\, Farhad Dalal presents a thorough contemporary appraisal of the theory of group analysis and its relevance to psychoanalysis as a whole. The author argues that Foulkes failed to develop a specific set of group concepts\, relying instead on the traditional individualistic framework of Freud. The book explores why Foulkes failed to escape from the orthodox mother-infant paradigm and offers a new post-Foulkesian interpretation of group analytic theory. \nTaking the Group Seriously is divided into six parts which trace the history of ideas behind group work\, and draws on a wide range of subjects to support its thesis: not only psychoanalysis and group analysis\, but also sociology\, biology\, chaos theory\, genetics\, economics\, game theory and discourse theory. Using the author’s practical group experience and including the latest ideas on the subject\, this volume will be of interest to all those working in the field of psychoanalysis. \n\nBuy the Book

SUMMARY:Communication in Groups
DESCRIPTION:“The language of the symptom\, although already a form of communication\, is autistic. It mumbles to itself secretly\, hoping to be overheard…” (Foulkes and Anthony 1957\, pg. 260)\nMembers of a group bring to it their ‘illness’ – the disturbances and conflicts that can not\, yet\, be articulated. These are expressed in the content of their story\, the manner in which it is told\, their relationship with individual members and the group as-a-whole\, their presence and absence and how they spend their time in and with the group.

SUMMARY:The Role of a Group Therapist
DESCRIPTION:According to S.H. Foulkes\, conducting / facilitating a group is a creative activity. He said\, ‘We will consider the conductor as a therapist in the more specific sense. This is a creative activity which needs much intuition. The conductor has to live with the group\, expose himself to the currents permeating it and him\, try to divine the meaning of what is going on and the relevance of this meaning. Only in the light of such an orientation will he decide on his various interventions\, their nature and their timing. His fundamental attitude has been termed the analytic attitude’. (Foulkes\, 1975)\nThe content of this seminar is a combination of her experience of running therapy groups for about 3 years now as well as being a member of different therapeutic groups both in India and abroad. \n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeminar Leader\nShama Parkhe\nPsychotherapist & Psychodrama Practitioner\nShama has been working with adults in group settings using both group analytic and psychodramatic methodology. She has a keen interest in developing alternatives to traditional mental health practices by involving the larger community. She believes in the efficacy of group processes and aims at creating safe\, reflective\, and therapeutic spaces for groups of people experiencing interpersonal difficulties.

SUMMARY:HANSIKA
DESCRIPTION:Hansika was conceptualized\, choreographed and premiered to a full house in Bengaluru in 2018\, followed by two successful shows in Bangalore and Delhi respectively. As a dance practitioner\, Sharmila Mukerjee has always envisioned bridging boundaries and uniting cultures through a single thread of art. Hansika is the second step towards this vision\, her maiden production being Sookshma based on a Kannada folk tale\, with a social message regarding environment.  \nThe ballet originating from a Russian folklore raconteurs the story of Odette\, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse. Following a gripping story of love\, deceit and despair\, the end marks a file of swans flocking to a safer haven\, their present home being polluted by humans for generations on end. The production in the garb of an Indian classical dance form draws a close parallel to classical ballet as we know it. Hansika explores how ballet and libretto can be adapted to Indian classical raaga (music)\, taal (rhythm) and laaya (pace). The score of the production is original\, replete with Indian classical elements and instruments like pakhwaj\, flute\, sitar and diverse rhythmic syllables. Tchaikovsky’s original theme shows up in the music structure time and again.  \nThe dance narrative in Odissi is a detour from traditional ballet aesthetics\, yet unanimously speaks of humanity and sustainability. The closing scene showing the swans flocking to cleaner waters conveys a strong message of taking care of nature and not push it beyond the point of redemption. \n\n\n\nhttp://34.106.126.84/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/VID_129651121_191026_496.mp4\n\n\nBOOK MY TICKET\n\n\nABOUT SHARMILA MUKERJEE\nSharmila Mukerjee is the founder and artistic director of Sanjali Centre for  Odissi Dance in Bengaluru which was established in 2004. \nAfter completing her schooling in Loreto House\, and graduating from Presidency College\, Kolkata\, Sharmila followed her one and only passion – dance.
