I am delighted that our Tenth Pink Therapy Conference will feature a selection of contributors to a brand new British therapy textbook. Queering Psychotherapy is undoubtedly going to be an essential contribution to the field. A series of interviews were transcribed into first-person narratives by an eclectic mix of therapists, both experienced and those new to the profession sharing their insights and perspectives and edited by J Chance Czyzselska.
The book will challenge the largely Eurocentric, cisgender, and heteronormative paradigms of traditional psychotherapy, embrace queer and intersectional perspectives, and show the flourishing diversity of our gender, sex, and relationship diverse communities.
Our conferences have always been an essential point in the calendar when therapists from across the country (and often wider afield) come together to network and break down some of the isolation of being a professional therapist working with marginalised clients.
As we are emerging from the impact of the Covid pandemic and adjusting to the new normal, this conference will be in a hybrid format. We will be welcoming those who wish to meet in person and engage directly with the authors back at our usual conference venue, Resource for London. We sincerely hope many of you will be eager for some real-life engagement and a chance to celebrate survival.
Your ticket price will include a free copy of the book, and we will be inviting all the contributors to attend the conference, so you could also seek to get your copy signed by them if that’s your thing!
The event will also be professionally filmed and broadcast live for those who don’t feel ready for in-person conferencing or where the journey is too much. We can arrange for a copy of the book to be posted to you by the publishers.
