Philip Hill

On: Saturday, May 10^th 10.30 – 1.00

At: Room 110, Alfriston Building. Falmer Site, University of Brighton

Philip Hill is a psychoanalyst, a member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research, and the Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. He has worked in the National Health Service and for charities and schools. He has written ‘Lacan for Beginners’, ‘Using Lacanian Clinical Technique - an introduction’ and he is currently writing two books: ‘Structure in the Clinic and Theory of Immunology and Psychoanalysis: Freud’s and Lacan’s contribution to Psycho-neuroimmunology’ and ‘Psychoanalysis as a History of Science and Ideas: Feminine Sexuality as essentially indeterminate’.

Philip’s talk/seminar will be largely interactive and will seek to explore a number of key areas:

• What should clinicians do with symptoms? Should they be taken at face value, should they be interpreted or ignored? Should the clinician’s tactics be varied? If so how and why,
• What should clinicians do with transference? Should transference be taken at face value, should it always be interpreted or ignored? Should the clinician’s tactics be varied? If so how and why?

This seminar is designed to help towards the development of a consistent position in our work with clients’ symptoms and transference.

Cost: £5 Associate Members, £8 Guests, £3 Students, Non-waged and the Elderly (OAP)

Tickets purchased on door.

These talks are for the professional development of psychological therapists and those in related professions.
