Neil Morgan is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society. He originally trained in Medicine, and then in Psychiatry. He has taught extensively at the Tavistock Clinic, at UCL, as well as teaching a course on Freud to candidates at the Institute of Psychoanalysis.   

This six-seminar course will involve close reading, and commentary on three key papers by Freud. Two seminars are devoted to each paper. The course is designed specifically to provide more complex awareness of concepts initially introduced in the ILS.

These papers by Freud open up, individually, large new areas of psychoanalytical thought. A clinical and two theoretical papers have been chosen for discussion.

The aim is to encourage deeper engagement with Freud's thought and facilitate further development.
