Hide description As India's mental health needs become demands, we are seeing various responses to this, like mental health platforms, app based solutions and attempts by RCI/UGC to create more courses and professionals that might end up diluting the passing criteria and therefore the quality of care. Conversations on access often revolve on number of seats, number of mental health professionals, lack of insurance or unaffordable treatment, and while these are true, what are some internal barriers that stop us from seeking help and changing, even when access barriers are removed? These are also important to reflect on so that holistic solutions can be identified.

Publications/Mentions

In 2021, I had the privilege to be part of the learning space at TISS, Mumbai, India.

As part of their Post Graduate Diploma in Supervision for Mental Health Practice, they had invited my group supervisor -Mr Anando Chatterji, to conduct a workshop on Psychodynamic Supervisory Practice. Anando being Anando, decided to make it experiential, and took all of us along to cocreate that learning space.

What happened after, led to this publication in the 95th issue,
March 2022, Group Analytic Society International.

If you a psychotherapist, who is interested in receiving, giving supervision, or generally someone intrigued about group analytic supervison spaces you might find this an interesting read.
