David Tuckett

The 2008 financial crisis showed that human emotion has a critical impact on financial markets. Until now, economic theories have failed to take this into account. |

How do we know when what is happening between two people should be called psychoanalysis? What is a psychoanalytic process and how do we know when one is taking place? |
Profile
David Tuckett, MA, MSc, is a Visiting Professor at UCL and Director of the Conference Programme. He is a Training and Supervising Analyst in the British Psychoanalytical Society, Chair of the European Psychoanalytic Federation Working Party on comparative clinical methods and formerly Editor in Chief (1988-2001) of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis as well as the Founding Editor of the New Library of Psychoanalysis. Trained in Economics and Medical Sociology he taught at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School and Bedford College before becoming the Principal (1977-1983) of the Health Education Studies Unit at the University of Cambridge, where he directed a large-scale study into doctor-patient communication in general practice. Since 1985 he has mixed his clinical practice with research interests concerning the knowledge base of psychoanalysis and the clinical models psychoanalysts use in their work. He is currently involved in a study of fund managers.
Current Research
| Finance and Economics | Psychoanalysis |
Professor David Tuckett has been awarded nearly $250,000 to research the role of emotions in economics. The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) grant will enable Professor Tuckett to examine how unconscious processes can cause swings in the financial markets. The research, which will take place over 2.5 years, will be based on interdisciplinary insights into the social and psychological context that trading financial assets create and in which decisions are made. |
Clinical Methods Workshops take place at various psychoanalytic conferences and congresses. They are based on the method devised by David Tuckett and colleagues within the European Psychoanalytic Federation Working Party on Comparative Clinical Methods. The material here is designed to help those preparing to attend: |
