“From Survival to Creative Destiny: The Clinical and Theoretical Work of Nina Farhi”
a talk by
Jean White
In a psychoanalytic career spanning three decades, Nina Farhi worked primarily with people who had survived near-impossible emotional and psychological circumstances. In a series of groundbreaking clinical papers, she theorised the extraordinary ways in which her patients had managed to preserve embryonic self-states against all odds and the arduous, imaginative and resourceful psychoanalytic work required to transform these vestiges of survival into creative living.
In this lecture Jean White will trace the evolution of Farhi's clinical thought, from her surprising and fresh uses of Winnicott's clinical concepts to her original re-working of some of Marion Milner's foundational insights. She will explore the ways in which Farhi's clinical practice was unique and the inspirational legacy she leaves with us today.
 Jean White is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who has practised in London for more than 30 years. She is the author of the acclaimed book, Generation: Preoccupations and Conflicts in Contemporary Psychoanalysis (Routledge 2006). She lectures and supervises internationally.
