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 Members of the Institute1 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.

Encounters through Generations is a series of filmed events organised at the Institute of Psychoanalysis between old and new generations of psychoanalysts and candidates in training. This video is an edit of a longer DVD documentary which we hope will be available after Summer 2010.
