Uncover Deeper Understanding: Community Mental Health Through a Psychodynamic Lens

Dr. Sanjiv Nair Sasidharan from Changi General Hospital, in collaboration with SUSS and the Centre for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy presents a compelling webinar: "Listening Beneath the Surface: Community Mental Health Work Through a Psychodynamic Lens."

This talk offers a unique opportunity to explore how core psychodynamic principles—transference, defence mechanisms, and unconscious communication—can be powerfully applied to community mental health work. Dr. Sanjiv Nair Sasidharan will guide participants through a framework for understanding the hidden emotional dynamics that often underpin complex client behaviors.

Discover how "listening beneath the surface" can reveal resistant patterns, emotional enactments, and relational themes that frequently emerge in community settings. Through insightful case studies, you'll see firsthand how a depth-oriented, reflective thinking approach can enhance empathic engagement and enable more timely, targeted interventions in even the most challenging community mental health scenarios.
