Join us for the BPC's flagship conference; Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Now 2026 - the slippery slope: boundary violations in the consulting room and in our institutions.

This talk explores the growing breakdown of the rules-based international order and the increasing risks of war, authoritarianism, nuclear catastrophe, and environmental collapse. Drawing on themes from a new multi-author volume on ending wars, Alderdice examines why conflict arises, how violence escalates, and why today may be one of the most dangerous periods in human history.
