Abstract

This short paper will look at the way in which taking part in organised, carefully led workplace discussions can introduce workers in education, health and social care to the value of their observations and the value of reflecting on the thoughts and feelings they struggle to understand and manage in their working lives. How much can be achieved in supporting observation in practice, without direct teaching of psychoanalytic theory? Examples are drawn from a course for perinatal workers which is not explicitly linked to psychoanalytic approaches.
