Previous Public Lectures
Here are details of some previous Guild Public lectures:
“A Psychoanalysis of the Future?”
Implications for psychoanalytic pluralism
Speaker: Jean White
Date: Saturday March 10th 2007
Following the publication of her highly acclaimed book, Generation: Preoccupations and Conflicts in Contemporary Psychoanalysis (Routledge 2006), Jean White, Member of The Guild of Psychotherapists, will speak about the change from structural to process models of mind in evolution within psychoanalysis today. She will show how the paradigm shifts inaugurated by Winnicott, Lacan and Bion are being developed in contemporary theory, and how these lead to radically new visions of what psychic growth might involve. She will also consider the implications of these groundbreaking concepts for psychoanalytic pluralism.
Christopher Bollas wrote: “This is quite simply the most intelligent book on contemporary psychoanalysis to be found and the best integration of theory and practice I have read.”
2006 Annual Public Lecture
Is there a ‘right’ way and a ‘wrong’ way to do psychotherapy?
Speaker: Joe Redfearn, Founder Member of The Guild
Date: Saturday, November 18th 2006
Omnipotent defences in analysts and supervisors
“I will be discussing the idea that there is a right way of doing psychotherapy and a wrong way, and of the splits and factions, as well as the positive consequences, of this. I shall also explore in a wider context the feeling or the conviction of being right, both in its creative and destructive effects in ourselves and in society.”
Joe Redfearn is a founder member of the Guild of Psychotherapists and was for many years Director of Training at the Society of Analytical Psychology. He is a training analyst for both the Society of Analytical Psychology and the British Association of Psychotherapists, and a former chair of SAP and the psychotherapy section of the British Psychological Society. He is the author of ‘My Self, My Many Selves’ (Karnac Books),‘The Exploding Self ’ (Chiron) and of many articles.
