Stavanger

Elize Morkel psykolog og narrativ terapeut fra Sør Afrika i samarbeid med Familievernkontoret i Stavanger:

Healing relationships:  A participatory therapeutic approach from South Africa

Om Elize Morkel:

Elize Morkel is a psychologist working both in private practice and in community work in South Africa.  She is involved in teaching and supervision of colleagues in narrative therapy.

During the political changes in South Africa in the 1990’s, Elize experienced an intense and dramatic awakening to the pain and suffering of black South Africans who lived on the margins of her world.  She was abruptly confronted by the extent to which she participated in and benefited from the injustices of Apartheid.

Om seminaret i oktober 2010 skriver Elize Morkel:

Colonization and apartheid has successfully divided South Africans for centuries and the institutionalized violence of racism left behind a broken society. The healing of our post-apartheid society involves the healing of broken relationships on many levels of our lives. The participatory approach to therapy that I propose requires theory and practices that reflect and act on an awareness of socio-political history and context, power relations, dominant discourses and personal narratives.  It views therapy and healing from a broader perspective than the boundaries of the counselling room.

In this workshop participants will be invited to reflect on their personal understanding and position regarding prejudices, stereotyping and “othering” and how that influences their availability to participate with clients from different “groups” in society. I will illustrate with examples from my work in South Africa how my colleagues and I implement community participation as therapeutic practice. Throughout the workshop I will make use of exercises, discussions as well as examples from my own practice to explore the theme of healing relationships through participatory therapeutic practice.
