This seminar will broaden understanding of how our earliest love relationships provide the foundations for – if not necessarily the prototypes of – all adult love relationships, especially those we have as partners and parents. It considers the significance of the parental couple for child development, and how adult love relationships differ from those of childhood, and it will enhance understanding of what secure and insecure partnerships look like. Through clinical illustrations, film, and attachment informed concepts, the seminar will explore aspects of love, and consider their implications for couple relationships and therapeutic practice. The seminar pays particular attention to Winnicott’s concept of mirroring in highlighting processes that are central to regulating affect in close relationships and fostering change.

Dr Christopher Clulow is a Consultant, Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Senior Fellow at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, London. He has published extensively on marriage, partnerships, parenthood and couple psychotherapy, most recently from an attachment perspective. He teaches in the UK and overseas, and maintains a private practice in London through the Balint Consultancy and in his home town of St. Albans where he has lived with his family for the past forty years.
