Lecture Details
Saturday 6th November 2010
SOCIAL DREAMING MATRIX
Led by Laurie Slade
Social Dreaming is a way of working with dreams in a communal setting, developed by Gordon Lawrence and others at the Tavistock Institute in the 1980s. In a matrix, we meet with a specific task, to share dreams and our associations to them, making links where possible. The focus is not on what dreams mean for the dreamer, but on our responses to the dreams we share – a process which enables us to pool our creative resources in an imaginative way. A period of reflection, after the matrix has closed, enables us to identify emerging themes, and to relate these to the subject-matter of the day.
Laurie Slade is a UKCP Registered Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, a member of the Guild of Psychotherapists, the Confederation for Analytical Psychology, and the International Neuro-Psychoanalysis Society. He has hosted social dreaming sessions for the past 9 years, in a variety of settings, both in the UK and abroad.
SELF-ANALYSIS THEN & NOW: FROM JUNG’S ‘RED BOOK’ TO THE COUNTERTRANSFERENCE
George Bright
Christopher Bollas has suggested that countertransference allows the contemporary analyst to regain a function largely lost since Freud's account of his self-analysis. With the publication of Jung's 'Red Book', we can now study at first hand the product of Jung's self-analysis. At exactly the time that he was producing the Red Book, Jung introduced the term 'countertransference', emphasising its necessary and helpful role in the analytic process. In this talk, George Bright will develop from Jung's self-analysis as recorded in the 'Red Book' some practical thoughts about the ways in which psychotherapists undertake daily self-analysis as we study what is going on in ourselves as a way of trying to understand what may be going on in our patients: the process we call 'countertransference'.
George Bright is a Professional Member of the Society of Analytical Psychology and a Training and Supervising Analyst for the Jungian Section of the British Association of Psychotherapists. His work has been published in English, French and German journals and he was awarded the 1997 Michael Fordham Prize for his paper on 'Synchronicity as a basis of analytic attitude'. He is in private practice in London.

THE VALUE OF JUNGIAN THEORY IN UNDERSTANDING PERVERSION AS A COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY
Fiona Ross, D An Psych CPsychol AFBPsS
The theoretical understanding of perversion is neglected in analytical psychology and narrowly developed in psycho-analysis, where it has traditionally referred only to sexual perversion.
The identification of four central differences between Freudian and Jungian interpretive traditions offers scope for a Jungian understanding of perversion as a response to early trauma, with intrapsychic deception enacted relationally in the outside world through addictive, vengeful behaviour which is not necessarily sexual. This involves broadening the concept of libido, linking instinct to the collective unconscious, acceptance of archetypal governance in psychic organization, and understanding of a futural sense in the psyche.
A theoretical formulation is presented in stages with illustrations drawn from three biographies, exemplifying sexual perversion, bodily perversion, and emotional or cognitive perversion.
Fiona Ross is a professional member of the Society of Analytical Psychology. She works in private practice in London as an analyst and psychologist. She teaches for a number of analytic and psychotherapy training organisations. She is author of “Understanding Perversion in Clinical Practice: Structure and Strategy in the Psyche”, Karnac 2003, since which she has undertaken research on the contribution Jungian theory can make to the understanding of perversion.

‘BETWEEN GRIEF AND NOTHING, I WILL TAKE GRIEF’
(William Faulkner, The Wild Palms)
AGGRESSION, MOURNING AND THE SURVIVING OBJECT:
AN EXPLORATION DRAWING ON THE WORK OF D.W. WINNICOTT
Sarah Cooke
Winnicott started thinking about aggression in 1939 and continued to develop and refine his ideas about both aggression and destructiveness through nearly three decades, culminating with his 1968 paper on ‘The Use of an Object and Relating through Identifications’ which contains his helpful but very complex ideas on object relating and object usage. It has led to the concept of the ‘surviving object.’
In this paper Sarah Cooke will trace the evolution of Winnicott’s thoughts on aggression, specifically in the context of how it relates to grief and the work of mourning. Drawing on clinical material Sarah will then look at what happens when, through the lack of provision of a sufficiently robust environment, object relating does not progress to object usage and aggression cannot be integrated into the personality. In place of a surviving object there is, to use Andre Green’s words, ‘non- presence’ or ‘the void’. Sarah explores the question as to how far the capacity to mourn in adult life is contingent upon having had a surviving object in infancy.
Sarah Cooke is a member of the SAP, a professional member of WMIP and a professional member of FPC. She combines a practice in Jungian analysis, psychotherapy and supervision with working in a university counselling service. She is a former assistant director of the Squiggle Foundation which exists to disseminate the work of Winnicott and she has taught and lectured on Winnicott’s work in a number of different settings.

GIFTS, TALISMANS AND TOKENS IN ANALYSIS:
SYMBOLIC ENACTMENTS OR SINISTER ACTS?
Joy Schaverien
Metaphorical objects commonly feature in analysis; but a gift is not a metaphor: it is a tangible object. In a development of her work with pictures, Joy Schaverien will consider gifts and other material objects presented in analysis. A distinction is made between two types of symbolic object; those that are unconsciously, magically empowered as talismans and those, more consciously, treated as tokens. Unlike an imaginal one, a physical gift requires some form of disposal, and so the analyst may feel under pressure to act. This pressure will feel more urgent with some than others; for example, flowers or food decay, but other gifts may be retained; giving time for insight to emerge. Therefore disposal, that is the resolution and settling of the object, is significant.
Professor Joy Schaverien PhD is a Professional Member of the Society of Analytical Psychology; a Training Therapist and Supervisor for the BAP (Jungian Section) and Visiting Professor in Art Psychotherapy at Sheffield/ Leeds Metropolitan University. Her private practice, as Jungian Analyst and supervisor, is in the East Midlands and she has been involved with the WMIP Jungian training since the early 1990’s. Her many publications include: The Revealing Image (1992), Desire & the Female Therapist (1995) The Dying Patient in Psychotherapy (2002) & Supervision of Art Psychotherapy (2007)
