Early Evening Events: Taking Risks in Working Cross Culturally

Barry Mason, Consultant Systemic Psychotherapist, The Institute of Family Therapy and in private practice

This presentation could also be entitled: 'The Personal and the Professional: Constructing Bridges Across Difference’

In this seminar, I will talk about the development of my own personal belief system and look at how I work with people with very different beliefs - not least in relation to gender, religion and culture. I have become particularly interested how, in wishing to connect therapeutically across difference, I don't necessarily disqualify some of my own personal ways of seeing. An example of this approach is an article I recently wrote for Context (August, 2008) - 'The Bridging Card'- in respect of greeting women who do not shake hands with men because of their religious beliefs.

I will also show some video of my working with a British Indian man who described himself as essentially a Buddhist, but with Christian influences. He knew that I did not believe in God.

There will be plenty of time for discussion and debate.
