TIMON OF ATHENS

by William Shakespeare 

 

Timon, a rich and generous Athenian, showers his friends with gifts and hospitality. When the money runs out and his friends refuse to help, Timon turns into a savage misanthrope.

 

Matinee performance 2pm on Saturday 13 September 2008

At Shakespeare's Globe, 21 New Globe Walk,  Bankside,  London SE1

 

Followed at 6pm by a talk in the Nancy Knowles Theatre

 

A Manic Depressive’s Attitude to Money in Our Contemporary World

In contemporary discussion there is much talk about financial uncertainties and lack of adequate regulation from above.  There have been psychoanalytic contributions to the debate and a history of analytic thinking about money, control and regulation. These issues are particularly interesting in relation to Shakespeare’s play Timon of Athens which is not only his most manic depressive play but has attracted articles from economists since Karl Marx.  It seems particularly apt that we take the opportunity to discuss this infrequently performed play and consider the applicability of its ideas to our contemporary world.

 

The discussion will be led by contributions from:

Lucy Bailey, director of the play, and Prof. Andrew Hadfield, Shakespeare Scholar

 

Chair:  Gerald Wooster

A recent paper by David Tucket & Richard Taffler Phantastic objects and the financial market’s sense of reality: A psychoanalytic contribution to the understanding of stock market instability published in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis vol: 89 (2) April 2008 would be valuable reading in connection with this event      www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/ijpa/89/2

A FOUNDATION COURSE IN PSYCHOANALYSIS

This new course is aimed at those who seek a deeper knowledge of psychoanalytic ideas and their application to clinical work.  It will be of particular interest to those who may wish to pursue a future training in psychoanalysis.  

Entry to the course is open to all postgraduate professionals -  both those working in the field of mental health ( psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, doctors, nurses, social workers and teachers)  and other professionals, as well as recently qualified graduates, who are thinking about a career in psychoanalysis, but who have not yet had any clinical experience.

Whilst the Introductory Lectures Course precedes the Foundation Course, it may not be necessary to have attended the introductory lectures before applying to this course.

The course will take place on  Friday afternoons between l pm and 3.30 pm throughout the academic year and will offer theoretical seminars (l Ό hours) followed by clinical work discussion seminars (11/4 hours). Help in finding a suitable honorary placement may be offered to those participants who have had no prior experience in the field of mental health.

The course fees for the foundation course are £1200 per year.
Personal psychoanalysis is not required.
