'EDI Cafe' - Therapists Cafe on Otherness, Sameness and Power Inside and Outside
Description
'EDI/TADF Cafe' - Therapists Cafe on Otherness, Sameness and Power Inside and Outside
Co-facilitated by Leon Berry https://www.asafeplace2talk.co.uk/about-me/
For all therapists passionate about EDI and TADF (https://www.tadf.co.uk) developments, this is an opportunity to meet, network, and try the ‘Cafe Model’ of community development within this framework. The event gives 1.5 hours of CPD – the Cafe model is a pedagogical concept developed by Death Cafe (deathcafe.com) facilitating communities of likeminded people to practice focused listening and empathic resonance with each other.
This Café is for all colleagues across disciplines who are working on themselves and their practice to push the envelope for our profession to become as conscious as possible about all aspects of power-processes and how they are expressed intra- and inter-psychically, as well as societally, and to help facilitate holistic change towards equality and equity in society.
Psychoanalytic thought is welcome, as we want to include the ‘unconscious’ in our thinking (and action) – e.g. the intersection of formative object relations and cultural process, like splitting, projection and oedipal competition across the fault-lines of structural oppression.
Thought from all other therapeutic disciplines, such as humanistic, existential, or integrative is equally welcome as we want to explore thoughts about difference and sameness across disciplines and identities.
This Cafe is about networking and inspiring each other, as well as sharing projects we are currently working on.
Attendance at the Cafe requires agreement to Therapists Cafe's EDI policy: https://therapists.cafe/edi-policy-2/
NB: this event is a Cafe/Salon event, NOT therapy. While great care is taken to provide a safe, empathic space, participants are required to manage their own emotional process.

Lineup
Mamood Ahmad
This is our first Themed Café, and it is co-facilitated by Mamood Ahmad, who has just published his book ‘New Introduction to Counselling Psychology’ and created The Anti-Discrimination Focus (TADF) initiative. Mamood’s work provides an ambitious, comprehensive framework for systematically including the factors of race, class, gender, religion, sexuality and disability, intersectionality and associated societal power-dynamics into clinical thinking and practice. It is designed for therapists’ training programs and includes therapists’ reflexivity on their own position in the socio-economic-cultural frame. It has been adopted by several major training organisations, such as Metanoia Institute, NAOS Institute, Keele University, Caspari Foundation, Warwick University and many others. Here is a video summarising his approach: https://vimeo.com/1166075933 Mamood will be speaking at the UKCP conference on the 19th of June and co-facilitate our EDI/TADF Café afterwards, where he will share his experiences with implementing the framework so far.
Leon Berry
This Café is further co-facilitated by Leon Berry, who has attended our Cafés and has agreed to consult for Therapists Café to help us provide an inclusive space for colleagues of all backgrounds to feel welcome – as, sadly, this has not been the experience for him during his own training.
