| Extra Info | : | Speakers: Erica Burman, Darian Leader, Gwion Jones, Dmitri Olshansky, Michael O'Loughlin, Francesca Brencio and Andrew Hodgkiss Is clinical psychoanalysis a healthcare system, a distinct discipline, or something else entirely? This conference explores this fundamental question, examining the evolving landscape of clinical psychoanalysis in the 21st century. We will address the tension between preserving core psychoanalytic principles and adapting to new trends in mental health needs, service delivery, and technology. This exploration is crucial for ensuring psychoanalysis’s continued relevance and efficacy. The conference fosters dialogue between practitioners, scholars, and others creating a space for critical reflection on the challenges and opportunities facing psychoanalysis. A central theme will be whether psychoanalysis is “fit for purpose” in modern society and how it can adapt without losing its essential character. This includes examining its relationship with allied disciplines, such as clinical phenomenology, and critically assessing the contemporary relevance of foundational Freudian texts. |
