Psychoanalysis, Values and Webs of Power

The Freud Museum, at 20 Maresfield Gardens in Hampstead, was the home of Sigmund Freud and his family when they escaped Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938. It remained the family home untilAnna Freud, the youngest daughter, died in 1982. The centrepiece of the museum is Freudsstudy, preserved just as it was during his lifetime.

Psychoanalysis, Values and Webs of Power investigates tensions between professional norms and civic obligations, between 'value neutrality" in clinical practice and the reasoned embrace of social values, between personal ethical stances and the demands of the institutional and cultural milieus we inhabit. Psychoanalysis, in its many forms, can aid us in navigating, or at least illuminating, these vexing and often unrecognized influences, yet at the same time, psychoanalysts themselves must operate within those webs of power, be they cultural, social, institutional, or political. What values matter, or should matter, in psychoanalysis?  How can one preserve a degree of meaningful autonomy in institutional settings? When do values interfere with analytical work with clients or in scholarly enterprises?
Psychoanalysis, Values and Webs of Power includes an extraordinary line-up of speakers and panelists: 
Keynotes: Peter Barham, Stephen Frosh, Eva Hoffman, Lynne Segal, Valerie Sinason and Eli Zaretsky.
