17/18 May 2025 – The Un-Making of Them

17 May 2005 - 30 Nov 2025

Diploma Training with CPD option at therapist post-graduate level

The Un-Making of Them training encompasses important new understanding in trauma and neuroscience alongside three decades of experience of working with Boarding School Survivors, a barely recognised client group.

The training is open to analysts, psychotherapists, counsellors and arts therapists. These courses will interest those who have just one ex-boarder in their practice as well as those who work with many; and also to school and university counsellors. It is not necessary to have been a boarder and in some circumstances this may even be an advantage.

The team’s aim with these events is to make the Boarding School Syndrome and the Strategic Survival Personality better understood within the profession and thus broaden the network of colleagues to whom they can make informed referrals.

It has been designed to meet full accreditation status. Continuing to the diploma is optional and participants may sit the training simply to update their practice.

The Course runs over four weekends in London, and the NEXT INTAKE starts 17 May 2025:
