SUMMARY:The Unintended Consequences of Complex Systems
DESCRIPTION:Overview \n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Dan Neale and Dr. Lesley Crawley as they explore the unintended consequences that arise when we attempt to intervene. \n\n\n\nThe Unintended Consequence of Complex Systems: Psychotherapeutic Health and Unhealth in Groups and Organisations \n\n\n\nWe are constantly surprised by the ways that systems behave\, and in particular the unintended consequences that so frequently arise when we attempt to intervene. In this talk\, Dan will provide many examples of how our usual\, Western\, “linear” thinking can easily come adrift and our actions end up causing more or worse problems than the ones we were trying to solve. This talk will be of interest to anyone who does not live as a hermit. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nDr. Lesley Crawley is an Integrative Psychotherapist who is Course Lead for Counselling as well as maintaining a private practice. In addition\, Lesley serves as a priest in the Church of England and has taught Theology. Prior to her careers in therapy and ministry\, Lesley was an engineer working in industry as well as teaching in universities. \n\n\n\nDr. Dan Neale is a Group Analyst who is Course Lead for Counselling. His interest in systems arises from numerous sources\, particularly his work in Therapeutic Communities\, his work with groups and organisations\, and his original training as a mathematician. \n\n\n\nHighlights \n\n\n\n\n1 hour 15 minutes\n\n\n\nall ages\n\n\n\nIn person\n\n\n\nFree parking\n\n\n\n\n*Copyright Notice – Title of image used: Transforming Vicarious Trauma.
