The communicube is a three dimensional structure, a multi-purpose communication tool which was invented in 1998 during doctoral research into effective therapy with people who hear voices. It is a method for working with complex multi-dimensional experience, using miniature objects to clarify complex relationships between parts of the self, others and the world. Clients who hear voices and struggle with psychotic experiences have found this method helpful. The communicube provides a containing structure for potentially overwhelming material enabling client and therapist to work safely with potentially disturbing experiences. Since its invention it has been used in individual and group therapy, family work, team building, education and play. Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to use the method, learn the underlying theory and reflect on practice. All materials will be provided. The prototypes of the invention are now in the collection of the Science Museum, London. At the time of the invention of the communicube Dr. Casson was a member of ISPS and was instrumental in changing the name of the organisation. For more information see: www.communicube.co.uk
