A one day workshop by Dr Aaron Balick.

Over the past decade the very nature of the way we relate to each other has been transformed by online social networking and its associated mobile technologies. What are the feelings induced in you by this digital world? Whether you are an avid user of social media, or prefer to avoid it altogether, this interactive workshop will enable you to understand the psychology behind it, to consider your own relationship with social media and technology and to think psychodynamically about the online world and its effect on the consulting room.

Through a combination of experiential exercises, discussion and theoretical presentations, you will have the opportunity to think through your decisions in relation to online activity and to emerge from the workshop more confident about it.

Aaron Balick is a practising UKCP registered psychotherapist, an honorary Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, and a regular presenter on radio and TV, as well as producing a blog, editing and writing numerous publications, including a recent book on the psychodynamics of social networking.
