The APT-Birmingham Public Lecture

Saturday 2nd May 2020

DREAMING MIND: SUBTLE COMMUNICATIONS

Susanna Wright

Please note that due to the current COVID-19 situation our public lectures for May and June 2020 will not be held face to face.

It is our intention to hold these virtually and further details will be available in due course.

Applications are therefore still being accepted in the usual way.

Analytic work is unsettling at the best of times: some “happenings” take years to come to terms with, let alone to understand. This talk has evolved from an experience when my stance as analyst was eroded because my dreaming mind went out of control.

We will consider the immediate impact of my enactments on the work, some background dynamics that (may) offer an element of explanation, and subtle communications that then evolved out of the dreaming mind of the transference and countertransference relationship. We will look at possible significance for the recovery of a body-mind connection (Lombardi).

Finally, we will think about the central importance of the patient’s response for analytic outcome.

Susanna Wright is a former co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Analytical Psychology. She works mainly in private practice in North London and Kendal, Cumbria.
