5-15th March, Transgender, Gender and Psychoanalysis, An Exhibition

“Putting together an exhibition of visual art on this theme has been an intriguing journey. We felt it was our responsibility to show, without any sort of agenda, a stimulating selection of work that would capture the imagination and provoke dialogue. We think the exhibition will surprise, challenge, and arguably most importantly, move its audience.” Mandy Wax and Spencer Rowell, Curators

Birkbeck Cinema, Friday 24 April, 2015, 1pm–9pm
It’s just over fifty years since the publication of Sanity, Madness and the Family, R.D. Laing’s and Aaron Esterson’s groundbreaking study of ‘schizophrenia’ in eleven young women. Birkbeck Research in Aesthetics of Kinship and Community (BRAKC) and the Birkbeck Guilt Working Group have organised a one-day symposium at Birkbeck Cinema, 43 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PD, on Friday 24 April 2015 (1pm–9pm) to discuss the lasting impact of that book.
Do people still read it? Why is it almost never referred to in psychotherapy trainings in this country? How have the ideas it introduced been either absorbed into or rejected by clinical, academic and more general discourses about the family and mental/emotional illness?
Andrew Aisbong, co-director of BRAKC, will facilitate the event, and participants include SITE member Chris Oakley, as well as Jacqui Dillon, Robbie Duschinsky, Simon Fernando, Amber Jacobs, Oliver James, Lucy Johnstone, Lynne Segal and Anthony Stadlen.
The symposium will culminate in a screening at 7pm of Ken Loach’s 1971 film Family Life, introduced by the producer of that film, Tony Garnett.

The British Journal of Psychotherapy has announced the new Rozsika Parker Essay Prize, now with an extended deadline of December 15, 2013.
Rozsika Parker, author of Torn in Two: The Experience of Maternal Ambivalence and The Subversive Stitch: Embroidery and the Making of the Feminine, was a founder member of the SITE for Contemporary Psychoanalysis and remained a member until her death in 2010. She represented WPF/FPC on the BJP’s Board for many years and served on the Journal’s Editorial Advisory Panel..
She was well known for her commitment to creativity, in both art and clinical practice, and the BJP’s new Essay Prize focuses on a critical engagement with this theme.The Journal is particularly interested in factors that support creativity in clinical or theoretical work, and those that may militate against it. In addition to the focus on creativity, the application of psychoanalytic theory to questions of gender, art, literature, film and music is also welcomed.
The Prize has two entry routes: a Student Path and a Post-Qualification Path. Authors should indicate under which route they wish to be considered. Students or qualified clinicians are invited to submit original papers on adult or child psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, on either clinical or theoretical topics. The Student path is open to students on clinical trainings, on university courses in psychoanalytic studies, and on university courses where psychoanalysis is a significant component; the Post-Qualification path is open to clinical practitioners only.
More information on how to submit for the Prize available on the BJP website.
