Thank you for the talk and all who arranged it.  I thought Martina delivered this morning's CPD with exceptional thought, care and attention... I particularly valued the structure, with break out groups, as well as time for questions.  I also really appreciated her visual presentation and mixture of theory and clinical work. I found lots of space to think about the subject and her expertise very valuable. Thank you FPC and all those involved."


"First of all, I want to say how much I appreciate the quality of the CPD we are offered and so thank you to all who are involved with this."


"Dr Bisagni was in great form. I have watched him before, but it appeared as though being a bit ill brought out a really serious presentation.  The case study was systematically presented. I have been a bit confused about autism for a long time, but this presentation really helped in understanding the disorder very well. Echolalia etc was very well presented. The high point, though one needed the whole presentation to enhance, was his question ‘where is the soul’ of the autistic person. I have no criticism to offer.  I feel grateful that he continues to present to the UK audience."

"Sharon’s lecture was truly thought provoking - particularly the dominant super ego v ego ‘court room’ metaphor. I had never thought about it in this way and for one client in particular, this is extremely helpful. Thank you very much for organising."
