Sex, lies and social networking - growing up in a technological age
London
Hosted by: UKCP Faculty for the Psychological Health of Children
Children and young people today face particular challenges in the internet age. The 'online' generation are growing up with access to marvellous information, knowledge and communication resources. However there is a shadowy side. The increasing prevalence of wi-fi, smart phones and availability of television and games in the bedroom has brought with it unprecedented levels of cyber-bullying, 'sexting', exposure to violent computer games and internet porn, often in a context that is out of adult control.

LoveSex: an integrative model for sexual education
by Cabby Laffy, part of the UKCP Book Series
This book looks at how our brains, minds, bodies and emotions interact to create our experience of sexuality, and how we can create a sense of sexual self-esteem and a nutritious sexual diet for ourselves. As Laffy notes in her Introduction, 'we think and talk about sex as something we do, rather than sexuality being something that we have; and being sexual, as something that we are. We talk little about feeling sexual or the emotional and relational reasons for sexual desire; about the fact that it is usually an 'other' that we want to be sexual with. Our focus seems to be on how much sex we can have rather than how we want to express ourselves sexually.'
2 March 2013
Annual supervision conference
London
Hosted by: UKCP Promoting Occupational Practice Committee
An evolving art? contemporary developments in supervision
It is fair to suggest that the practice of supervision, like its sister the practice of psychotherapy, has factors in common across a diversity of approaches and special interests. As we are buffeted by complex demands personally, professionally and politically, finding and consolidating common supervisory principles and practices is just as important as celebrating what differentiates practice.
