ABSTRACT
We start this chapter by describing the importance of Winnicott’s term “potential space” to our work. We explore the significance of play to creative consulting and change and the anxiety that can arise in developing both the true and the false self. The chapter ends with a brief summary of how these ideas influenced the design of The Tavistock Institute Practitioner Certificate in Consulting and Change (P3C), for those interested in the design of professional development programmes.
