SUMMARY:Aesthetic Conflict and Counterdreaming
DESCRIPTION:The Guild of Psychotherapists Lecture \nSpeaker: Meg Harris Williams \nSaturday 21 July 2018\, 10.00 – 12.30 pm \nDrawing on literary sources and on the psychoanalytic theory of Bion and Meltzer\, Meg will discuss the concept of ‘aesthetic conflict’ (first formulated for psychoanalysis by Meltzer in 1988) which has sometimes been found both interesting and puzzling. She will relate this to the nature of ‘counterdreaming’ (Meltzer’s term for the psychoanalytic reverie that is the basis for interior observation) and to the parallel example\, in the arts\, of life drawing. \nMeg Harris Williams has published many articles in psychoanalytic and literary journals on the relation between psychoanalysis\, art and literature. Her books include The Apprehension of Beauty (with Donald Meltzer; 1988)\, The Vale of Soulmaking (2005)\, The Aesthetic Development (2010)\, Bion’s Dream (2010)\, and The Becoming Room: Filming Bion’s Memoir of the Future (2016)\, and The Art of Personality in Literature and Psychoanalysis (2018). \nTickets for this fund-raising lecture cost £35 (£20 for Trainees\, Students and retired members). A light lunch will be included after the talk. To purchase your tickets or book a place please contact the Guild Office.

SUMMARY:Something About Our Bodies - Two Lectures on FGM
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, 14 July 2018\, 9.30 – 1pm\,  2018. \nThe Guild of Psychotherapists\, 47 Nelson Square SE1 \nFree of Charge. Please RSVP to admin@guildofpsychotherapists.org.uk  by the 30th June. \nFemale genital mutilation is a centuries old practice carried out in some parts of Africa\, the Middle East and Asia. Female genital mutilation is a collective term for cultural or other non-therapeutic procedures. These are typically performed on girls aged between 4 and 13\, but in some cases\, it is performed on new-born infants or on young women before marriage or pregnancy. \nSpeakers\nFatuma’s presentation “Female Genital Mutilation: Psychotherapy for survivors” will look at the practice that is known as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Why and where it is practiced and how it is viewed among the affected communities. The paper asks psychotherapists who encounter this practice that has been portrayed in the media as barbaric; how can therapists hold judgement and be present with the patient in the room. She also explores ways psychotherapy can support women who have gone through this practice. \nFatuma Farah a psychotherapist\, clinical supervisor\, FGM consultant and campaigner. Fatuma has worked for the United Nations in her native country Somalia\, where she was attached to the Ministry of Health. She is currently doing her PhD research that examines perspectives on FGM among affected communities in the UK. \n\n \nSupported by City Bridge Trust \n\nJacqueline’s paper\, Female Genital Mutilation: Practice tensions in legal landscapes. \nFGM has been a criminal offence in the UK since 1985. In 2003 it became a criminal offence for UK nationals or permanent UK residents to take their child abroad to have female genital mutilation. However\, FGM continues to occur both in the UK and through children being taken abroad. In her role as a children’s guardian\, Jacqueline has worked with families where concerns have been raised about FGM. This presentation will use case studies to explore the tensions inherent in assessing risk while engaging families to effectively safeguard children. \nJacqueline Harry has a legal background and has been a qualified social worker for over 18 years. Jacqueline’s social work practice included 10 years as a children’s guardian for cases in the Family Division of the High Court\, during which time she worked directly with many children who were subject to professional concerns about the risk of FGM. Jacqueline is now a senior lecturer at a London University and has research interest in relation to honour related violence. \n

SUMMARY:CFAR Annual Conference: Desire and Jouissance
DESCRIPTION:CFAR Annual Conference: Desire and Jouissance \nSaturday 13 July 2018 \nTime:10.00 am – 5.15pm (registration from 9.30 am) \nVenue: University College London (UCL)\, Institute of Education\, 20 Bedford Way London WC1H 0AL  \nSpeakers include Jorge Banos Orellana\, Anouchka Grose and Anne Worthington \nDesire and jouissance are key terms in Lacanian psychoanalysis\, with desire often equated with a search for some unattainable object and jouissance with an excess that both disturbs and excites us. Where desire tends to be seen as a positive term\, and its emergence marked with approval\, jouissance has to be jouissance has to be banished\, reduced\, drained\, limited and localized. But how valid are these terms today? Are they real advances from Freud’s own concepts or have they become mere descriptive terms\, used with the same lack of rigour as the concepts of modern psychiatry? This conference hopes to encourage an exploration of the notions of desire and jouissance\, tracing their emergence in Lacan’s work and examining their status today. \nEntrance fee: £60      \nConcessions: £40
