Gillie Ruscombe-King, group analyst and psychodrama psychotherapist will present some psychoanalytic and group analytic perspectives on play and creativity, and promote a discussion as to how these very important features of everyday life can enhance our clinical practice.

Gillie has worked in the NHS and in private practice for nearly fifty years. She worked for many years at the Oxfordshire Complex Needs Service and at present is working with the North Bucks Psychological Services. Both creativity and aspects of play provide an important source of inspiration for her clinical work which we will have an opportunity to discuss together.
