| Extra Info | : | Ken Robinson on 'Oedipus at Play' Play, illusion and disillusion are essential elements in Oedipal development, as is an environment that supports them. Oedipus's family could not play, with dire consequences. Against the background of good-enough Oedipal development speaker Ken Robinson will explore the consequences for patients with similar families. He will focus on how beneath their tendency to see the analyst in line with their past, as not able to play, they might search for developmental help and the analyst as a new departure, like the patient who sought a "flirting partner" and an environment where her flirting would neither be rejected nor acted upon. Ken Robinson is a psychoanalyst in private practice in Newcastle upon Tyne. He taught English Literature and the history of ideas before training as a psychoanalyst and is now Honorary Archivist of the British Psychoanalytical Society. He is active in psychoanalytic psychotherapy trainings for both adults and children and adolescents in the north of England and Scotland as well as teaching for the BPAS and other organizations here and abroad.
