Book ticketsOrganised by:
Noreen Giffney (BPC Founding Scholar), Lynn Froggett (BPC Founding Scholar), Jill Bennett, Gail Kenning, Anna Harvey
Description
Join us for an experiential event about ‘World Comes Alive’, a new VR experience and the first underpinned and framed by psychoanalytic thinking. This in-person event will take place on Thursday 19 June at 3 pm-8 pm in the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London.
We will be facilitating individual experiences with ‘World Comes Alive’ via a VR headset, after which we will explore how it might be helpful for reflective practice and for work in clinical settings.
This event will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, group analysts, social workers, artists and curators, and academics interested in the arts and culture, psychosocial studies, and technology studies.
Registration is £20. To register, choose a time for your VR experience. Places are limited and we expect this event to book out very quickly.
