The psychoanalysts represented are of course giving their own views. Our members have many shared and overlapping beliefs and conceptual frameworks for describing the mind (and psychoanalysis), but of course these are complex topics capable of being conceptualised and seen in a variety of ways.

British Psychoanalysis Yesterday and TodayThis film seeks to illustrate some of the essentially “British” ingredients in psychoanalysis as it has developed in the British Psychoanalytic Society. The arrival in London of the Freud family in 1939, fleeing from the Nazis, has been of central importance for the growth of British psychoanalysis and the many debates that have taken place among Freud’s successors including Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Wilfred Bion and Donald Winnicott. We hear from psychoanalysts who trained at the British Society, as they describe their impression, from different theoretical perspectives of their experience of practising psychoanalysis following the British tradition. Directed by Christine Miqueu-Baz and Dan Susman, assisted by Anne Patterson and Anne Ward |

What is Mentalization? Professor Peter FonagyMentalizing refers to our ability to attend to mental states in ourselves and in others as we attempt to understand our own actions and those of others on the basis of intentional mental states. A focus on this very human activity as a therapeutic intervention forms the core of mentalization based treatment (MBT). MBT was initially developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) although it is now being used on a wide range of disorders. Linked with permission from the Anna Freud Centre. |
