Learning opportunities for those outside London and for international students: introducing our bespoke and online courses.

 We offer bespoke courses to those who can’t come to us for long periods of time but would like to have an opportunity to come for a short visit to get some teaching and supervision on their topics of interest.

 Early in 2016 we will be offering online learning opportunities.  You will be able to join a regular online introductory course or to create your own learning path by choosing the lectures that interest you and joining discussion forums.

 

Learning opportunities for A level students and undergraduates 

Early in 2016 we will be offering schools and individual students opportunities to come to us for a day/ half day visits .

We can offer lectures and interactive learning about our work as psychoanalysts and in the public sector mental health services. 

We are also often asked to give our input to an array of different areas of activities in society in general, which we can teach about. To mention but a few, the work of our members and fellows make important contributions to the study of neuroscience,  general medicine, the arts, of philosophy, architecture, climate change, an the work of teams in organisations, such as hospitals, schools and large engineering projects.

 

Obituaries

John Forrester

It is with great regret that we learnt  of the death of Professor John Forrester, a distinguished Associate of our Society, on Tuesday 24th November.  He made an extensive contribution to the study of the history of psychoanalysis and was a great friend to our Society.

Professor Forrester’s close colleague, Simon Schaffer, has written a moving obituary, which is available on the University of Cambridge’s website:
