Tuesday 17th September 2019

Hicham Jabrane and Ruth Wismayer, will be sharing their psychoanalytically informed approach in delivering school-based interventions in the challenging context of a special school (SEMH) in a deprived inner city borough.

Hicham Jabrane and Ruth Wismayer are graduates of the Birkbeck MSc Psychodynamic counselling and Psychotherapy (Adults and Child & Adolescent respectively). They share an interest in organisational dynamics and issues of cultural diversity. During the last year they have been collaborating to integrate therapeutic thinking within an institution battling to meet the needs of marginalised and vulnerable pupils.
