Speaking the Unspeakable #1

 

The recent College of Psychoanalysts Conference on State Regulation generated an after-reaction in ipnosis that lasted several days.

OPEN

eIpnosis editorial

Speaking the Unspeakable #2

'...Now and again I try to remind myself why I am convinced that state regulation of psychopractice is problematic and harmful to both client and practitioner interests.

 

Hidden behind the benign protective promises of psychopractice regulation and the reasonable voices patiently lining you up for it, is a death threat. In a vain attempt to guarantee client safety, it will kill, in the sense of 'uprooting those plants considered to be weeds', as a onetime Chair of UKCP described it, is intended to kill, wildness, the esoteric, the exotic, and the unpredictable, that are involved in the unavoidably haphazard tasks of helping people find their way out of corners into which they may have become painted.'

The Regulation Journey - From Taxonomy to Taxidermy

AUGUST 13 2006

'As was promised at the end of 2005, the accumulated knowhow of psychopractice is to be subject to a formidable array of technical experts whose declared field is taxonomy, i.e. to treat the subtle, often ineffable skills of human interaction, as though they were trays of butterflies to be catalogued.'

The Huge Mistake of state regulation of the psychological therapies is increasingly engaging the attention of the ethically challenged accrediting bodies. As a prompt for their lack of ethical awareness, eIpnosis adds to the debate about SR, One video by eIpnosis on research validity, and eight videos from two new eIpnosis voices; Guy Gladstone of the Open Centre, a psychotherapist and group conductor with 24 years experience, and Janet Low, a psychoanalyst.
