| Extra Info | : | Maudsley Lectures in Psychoanalysis with Stephen Blumenthal This talk will explore the different motives for violence, including self-preservation, predation, sadism and male dominance. This is based on evidence from neuroscience and psychological studies. Dr. Blumenthal will use video recorded clinical vignettes based on a group treating violent men. Acts of violence have long been a source of fascination and bewilderment, not least because the shock of their impact invites a particular type of thinking, or non-thinking. When confronted with unthinkable, or apparently mindless, acts, we are all vulnerable to locating the source of violence in the 'offender', and not seeing the links with the violence, both interpersonal and structural, in our families, communities and societies. This lecture series will offer participants an opportunity to engage with a range of contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives on understanding and thinking about different types of violence, in minds and deeds. There will be a combination of theory and clinical presentations. This series has relevance for those who are experienced and those who are new to this area. |
