Virtual conferenceUCL BloomsburyLondonWC1E 6XA
This November, we will not be able to gather in our usual way in London.
In previous years, our Annual Conferences have allowed us to come together in person to think in depth about central clinical issues. We want to find ways of continuing to work together. In the light of the unprecedented challenges of recent events, it feels vital to develop a psychoanalytic understanding of our reactions to the Covid-19 pandemic, including its impact on our capacity to work and to love. It could be for eventual good, not only for ill.
Therefore, we have planned an online meeting. Read more about the themes of our virtual conference on psychoanalysis and the pandemic in a short piece by Liz Allison. Speakers and chairs will include Fakhry Davids, Peter Fonagy, Francesca Hume, Jane Milton, Rosine Perelberg, David Taylor, Rudi Vermote, Howard B. Levine and Beverly J. Stoute. David Tuckett will be in conversation with Mervyn King. There will be parallel paper sessions on the Saturday and clinical seminars on the Friday afternoon.
Recordings of sessions can be provided to registered participants on request. To safeguard confidentiality, this will be for a limited time, and requiring the presenter’s permission.
