About the event
Introducing NLMT's latest training, aimed at arts therapists, healthcare providers and those interested in finding out about the theory behind music therapy. As a team, we're influenced by psychodynamic theory and how our past experiences inform our present - but how does this theory fit into our post-pandemic society?
Music and Psychodynamics, running over six Monday evenings in September and October, will take you through some key concepts of psychodynamic theory, linking them to music, art, therapy, politics and society. We'll be running the first five weeks online, with the final week a hybrid event giving you the option to join us in person in North London for a panel event with refreshments and goodies from NLMT.

Monday 19th September - On Countertransference with Marianne Rizkallah (online)
Marianne will take you through a series of clinical examples with children, adolescents and adults to demonstrate why knowing our countertransference is one of the most powerful tools we can have in and outside of sessions. She will show the importance of countertransference both in verbal work and especially when working with those with significant special needs. Marianne Rizkallah is Director and Head Music Therapist at North London Music Therapy, and the Vice Chair of the British Association for Music Therapy.
Monday 26th September - On Transference with Ann Sloboda (online)
Ann will facilitate a live clinical workshop, with material examined in real time to illuminate how transference manifests within sessions - and how our thoughts within sessions, and how we think about them, reveal themselves in our everyday lives. Ann Sloboda is Head of Music Therapy at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and a psychoanalyst in private practice.
Monday 3rd October - On Projective Identification with David John (online)
David will bring a series of musical examples and thoughts from some of Bion's seminal texts to show the interlinking of projection and projective identification with other psychoanalytic concepts. He will also discuss an idea for a tool for music therapists linked to Bion's work. David John is a rrtired music therapist and psychoanalyst.
Monday 10th October - On Winnicott's Holding Theory with Dr. Lisa Margetts (online)
Lisa will talk about her doctoral work in a school in Belarus, and how using Winnicott's Holding Theory enabled teacher-student relationships to grow and develop. Dr. Lisa Margetts is Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Roehampton, music therapist, researcher, educator and author. She specialises in music therapy consultation research with special educational staff teams overseas and in the UK. Her current clinical practice is with children on the autistic spectrum.
