Memory and its Vicissitudes Conference
Book ticketsOrganised by:
Psychoanalysis Unit, University College London
Description
Hybrid conference, both online and in-person at Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health – UCL
About:
According to Freud, memory (along with length of life, life after death, and paternity) is one of the four subjects upon which all mankind are uncertain. He wrote that ‘we are all in the habit of believing [in memory], without having the slightest guarantee of its trustworthiness.’ Yet one of the lessons of psychoanalysis is that our sense of self is both shaped and undermined by our memories.
This conference will consider psychoanalytic perspectives on the significance of memory and explore the role that remembering plays in transformation and growth through detailed clinical presentations.
Clinical Seminars will take place at Senate House and online on Friday 28 November, 18.00 – 19.45 (GMT).
Clinical Seminar Leaders include Rachel Chaplin, Christine English, Marcus Evans, Peter Fonagy, Shirley Hiscock, Daniel Pick, David Taylor, and Heather Wood.
