The Psychodynamic Tradition

The HEP psychodynamic tradition draws on the original psychoanalytic basis and extends this through the Jungian model into a way of working both personally, interpersonally and transpersonally with the conscious/unconscious dialectic, including reference to the collective consciousness and psychodynamic manifestations of the imaginal world. Existentialism, gestalt and bioenergetics will also be integrated into this complex model of evocation and working through of psychological, psychosomatic and psychospiritual conflicts. The phenomenology of resistance and defences will be addressed, as will the themes of transference and countertransference, including how archetypal factors can play a role. Caroline Mardon
