Psychotherapy Workshops
Spring 2015
The Site is very pleased to offer another series of psychotherapy workshops that will be running in Truro in Spring 2015. The workshops will show how contemporary psychoanalysis can bring a richer understanding to varied social and clinical situations. They will be delivered by psychotherapists involved with the Site training in clinical psychoanalysis in Truro.
These workshops are open to those who have an interest in the ideas and practices of contemporary psychoanalysis and its place in everyday life. There will be information available about the Site training and attendance certificates for CPD purposes.
Klein’s View of Misogyny, March 28th, with Linda Buckingham
In her 1928 paper “Early Stages of the Oedipus Conflict” Klein describes the boy’s Femininity Complex as the root of misogyny in males. If not resolved benignly, envy of female nurturing and reproductive functions is converted to hatred and contempt. The paper is controversial and has not been furthered by Kleinian theorists or feminists, who do not expect to find in Klein’s work anything to further our understanding of the inequality of the sexes. This workshop will revisit Klein to cast light on the enduring phenomenon of misogyny in contemporary culture.
Linda Buckingham is a Tavistock trained child psychotherapist who has been involved in the practice and teaching of psychoanalysis for many years in London. She has recently moved to Cornwall, and is currently undertaking some child psychotherapy work for CAMHS in Penzance and Redruth. She is involved in the Site SW training
Lacan, Transference & Interpretation, May 2nd with Elizabeth O’Loughlin
In her second workshop on Lacan, Elizabeth will explore his radical re formulation of transference. Lacan argues that “there is, in fact, an imaginary element and a symbolic element in the transference, and there is thus a choice to be made.” If, as Lacan claims,“the symbolic dimension is the only dimension that cures” interventions need to address the symbolic component of the transference, setting the imaginary component aside. What then is the symbolic component of the transference and what would it mean to interpret it? What is the imaginary component and what is it about the ego that makes it the source of resistance?
Elizabeth O’Loughlin practices as a Lacanian analyst in Bristol and is also involved in the Severnside training in clinical psychoanalysis.
Workshops run from 1.00 – 4.00pm, with a short break at 2.30pm.
