Working with self-harm and su***de can place clinicians in some of the most complex and emotionally demanding situations in mental health practice.

Alongside questions of risk and intervention, the work can evoke powerful feelings in professionals - anxiety, responsibility, helplessness, frustration and uncertainty.

A psychoanalytic perspective offers another way of thinking about these experiences: considering not only what is happening for the patient, but what is happening within the relationship between patient and professional.

𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 is a three-part hybrid seminar series with 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙢 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝, exploring psychoanalytic thinking about su***de and self-harm and its application to contemporary clinical practice.

Each seminar begins with advance reading, followed by a short presentation and clinical discussion. Participants will also be encouraged to bring situations and dilemmas from their own work for discussion, with all clinical material highly anonymised.

The series is aimed particularly at clinicians working with people at risk of su***de and self-harm, and is also open to practitioners across psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and mental health, including psychiatry, nursing, social work and the voluntary sector.

William Crouch is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society and a former NHS Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. He has published extensively on self-harm and su***de and is an editor of Relating to Self-Harm and Su***de, now in its second edition.

When working in mental health, relationships are never just the backdrop to the work - they are central to it.

The emotional demands of clinical practice can affect how we think, feel and respond. At times, we may find ourselves drawn into difficult dynamics that can leave us feeling stuck or even make situations harder to manage.

Therapeutic Relationships in Forensic and Adult Mental Health Settings is an eight-part online course exploring how psychoanalytic thinking can help us better understand what happens:

• between patients and practitioners
• within ourselves
• and between members of staff teams

Marcus Evans, psychoanalyst, will be in conversation with mental health nurse Jo Osimuwa across eight sessions addressing some of the most challenging areas of mental health practice, including borderline and psychotic states of mind, suicidal risk, adolescence, violence, deliberate self-harm and anti-social personality disorder.

📅 13 October–8 December 2026
🕗 Tuesdays, 8.00–9.30pm
💻 Online via Zoom
🎓 Certificates of attendance provided
▶️ Recordings available for one week after each session
💷 Full series: £100

Designed for nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers and other mental health practitioners.
