title: A psychodynamic formulation masterclass with Nancy McWilliams.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this paper was to assess the value of a psychodynamic formulation masterclass.
  
  
  METHODS
  Formal feedback from the presenters at a masterclass at the 2010 RANZCP Congress was obtained and arranged under different themes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The importance of counter-transference, reevaluating the case and supervision, witnessing the skill of an expert, the sense of containment and validation, and the importance of formulation were significant themes that emerged.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results provided evidence both for the importance of psychodynamic formulation and for the use of a psychodynamic formulation masterclass.
