Decolonising Psychoanalysis Seminars

Questioning 'Diversity' in Psychoanalysis

Saturday 2 July 2022, 3:00pm - 5:00pm BST 

Online seminar £12 - £24   Book here 

This is the third in a series of seminars on Decolonising Psychoanalysis, organised by the Race and Culture Committee of the Guild of Psychotherapists. The series is intended to open up conversations about psychoanalysis by initiating Transatlantic Dialogues between academic research and clinical practice.

 

In this instance, both speakers are clinicians, researchers, teachers and activists, and their talks address the seemingly intractable problem of 'diversity' in psychoanalysis - within the profession, the theory and the therapeutic relationship. 

How might we explore layers of diversity, within and without the psychoanalytic encounter? How can we rethink notions of diversity in an anti-colonial way? Must clinicians learn a language of diversity, to ethically address their patients? And how can these ideas contribute to the task of 'decolonising psychoanalysis' and lessening the psychic price of everyday racism and discrimination?

For further event details, speakers' biographies and booking options please see the event listing.

Bursaries available for those receiving benefits and NHS mental health service users.  

Organised by the Race and Culture Committee of the Guild of Psychotherapists, London.
