Amongst Sylvia Payne&rsquo\;s papers\ , our archivist discovered a collection of poems\, drawings and songs gathered together as a magazin e\, &lsquo\;What we did in the Great War&rsquo\; w ith contributions from &lsquo\;AC&rsquo\;\, almost certainly Agatha Christie. Both women worked at T orquay Hospital during the First World War\, Agath a Christie in the dispensary and Sylvia Payne as t he Medical Superintendent. These were formative ye ars from which they went on to highly distinguishe d careers. Sylvia Payne was a pioneering psychoana lyst and twice President of the Society.\n \n This find set the Archives Committee thinking about th e connections between crime fiction and psychoanal ysis\, between psychoanalytic investigations and d etective work and the work of historians using arc hival material. Fact\, fantasy and imagination may mingle in the exploration and interpretation of h istory\, the history of psychoanalysis and history as it appears in the work of psychoanalysis where a psychic &lsquo\;crime&rsquo\; may dominate the mind. \; \;\n \n To set the scene\, the BP AS archivist will introduce our archives and archi val research. In person conference participants wi ll have the opportunity to view a display of archi val material. \;\n \n Drawing on historical re search and archival material\, two papers explore firstly the links between the emergence of the sci ence of clues in crime fiction and psychoanalysis and secondly\, the role of psychoanalysts in the t ransformation of criminology in the 1950s. \;& nbsp\;\n \n In the afternoon\, the first paper loo ks at the how the psychic &lsquo\;crime &lsquo\;em erges powerfully in a psychoanalysis and a final p aper draws on Freud&rsquo\;s reference to &lsquo\; Criminals from a Sense of Guilt&rsquo\;\, (1916) t o understand a subset of internet offenders. \ ; \;\n \n The focus of the conference is not p rimarily on forensic psychotherapy but on how the concept of the crime provides a vehicle for psycho analytic exploration and development. \;\n \n Proceeds from the conference will go to the Pearl King Archive Trust to support the maintenance and development of our internationally outstanding arc hive of psychoanalytical material. \;\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n *This conference will be recorded b ut some clinical material may be removed. \;\n \n REFUND POLICY: Tickets are fully refundable un til 14 days before the lecture\, after which time no refunds will be issued.\n \n Concession tickets are available\, for students\, BPAS candidates&nb sp\;trainees.
