Organised by:

Freud Museum London

Description

The Freud Museum is pleased to announce an in-house conversation between Dr. Susie Orbach and Professor Brett Kahr to celebrate the publication of ‘Expanding Psychoanalysis: The Contributions of Susie Orbach’, edited by Prof. Kahr.

Expanding Psychoanalysis explores the work of the acclaimed psychoanalyst, writer, and activist Susie Orbach. The book studies Orbach’s multifaceted career in five sections, examining her multitudinous contributions to the mental health profession, from critical contributions to the creation of feminist psychotherapy (with Luise Eichenbaum also a contributor to this volume), to the enhancement of media psychology, to the growth of political and social consultation. The book contains clinical, historical, and personal chapters, examining Orbach from a range of perspectives. Each chapter investigates a key aspect of Orbach’s work and its impact on the professional, the social, and the personal level. The book concludes with an epilogue by Orbach herself.

Join us for an evening to celebrate this new publication as well as Orbach’s impressive career.
