The Audio-Visual Project
Introduction
The films on this page are part of an ongoing audiovisual project. This was started in 2007 by the Student Organisation of the British Institute of Psychoanalysis, with the aim to film eminent psychoanalysts talking of their work and life with new generations of students and psychoanalysts. In 2008 a film group was also established in the British Psychoanalytical Society. Funding generously granted from the International Psychoanalytical Association will help to develop the quality of the materials produced, and will include the production and restoration of audiovisual material on various clinical and theoretical topics related to psychoanalysis, as well as its training. This page will be updated as new films will become available. [Ed.]
We are delighted that candidates and recently qualified
Associate Members of the Institute have set this project
going, and that we are as a result able to show the videos
on the website. It is worth remarking that 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. Each person speaks for himself.
