MOURNING AND MELANCHOLIA: LIFE IN THE FACE OF LOSS
A conference to celebrate the centenary of Freud's groundbreaking work, ‘Mourning and Melancholia’
‘Mourning and Melancholia’ introduced new ways of thinking about the structure of the mind, our relationships to others and how we process the experience of loss.
For many people this is the book that inaugurated ‘modern’ psychoanalysis.
This conference brings together psychoanalysts, academics, writers and performers to consider how we keep going in the face of grief, and why we sometimes fail.
Speakers:
Ken Robinson (psychoanalyst)
Failure to mourn in retirement and redundancy: King Lear and The Last Laugh
Jonathan Sklar (psychoanalyst)
