Maudsley Lectures in Psychoanalysis Autumn 2024

Violence in Mind: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Forensic Work

7th October - 2nd December 2024
7:30pm - 9:00pm

Hybrid

In-person at 10 Windsor Walk and Online via Zoom.

Acts of violence have long been a source of fascination and bewilderment, not least because the shock of their impact invites a particular type of thinking, or non-thinking. When confronted with unthinkable, or apparently mindless, acts, we are all vulnerable to locating the source of violence in the 'offender', and not seeing the links with the violence, both interpersonal and structural, in our families, communities and societies. This lecture series will offer participants an opportunity to engage with a range of contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives on understanding and thinking about different types of violence, in minds and deeds. There will be a combination of theory and clinical presentations. This series has relevance for those who are experienced and those who are new to this area. 

You can register for individual lectures in this series. However, we recommend you book to attend the full series.
