The Institute of Psychoanalysis Announces Special Events to Accompany New Science Museum Exhibition on Psychoanalysis - October 2010 to April 2011

LONDON, August 2, 2010 - Topics ranging from murder, revenge and denial to identity formation,
humour and dreams will be explored in a lively and thought-provoking series
of public events launched by The Institute of Psychoanalysis - see
www.beyondthecouch.org.uk The programme complements the Science Museum
exhibition, Psychoanalysis: The Unconscious in Everyday Life, (13 October
2010 - April 2011). The exhibition is supported by The Institute of
Psychoanalysis and focuses on how the unconscious is manifest in everyday
experiences and artefacts, both historical and contemporary.

President of The Institute of Psychoanalysis, David Bell, said: "The
Institute is very proud to be sponsoring this Science Museum exhibition, the
fruit of an important partnership. The events we are creating are designed to
be of genuine interest to both professionals and the wider public, and the
new website will provide full information and a booking facility."

The opening event, Between Brain and Mind? (15 Oct) will explore the gap
between neurological and analytic perceptions of the brain and mind. Other
events this year include a conference, Engaging with Climate Change:
Psychoanalytic Perspectives (16-17 Oct), a discussion about sports
leadership, Bringing the Team Together, with psychoanalyst, philosopher and
former captain of the England cricket team, Michael Brearley (17 Nov) and The
Cambridge Scientists and Psychoanalysis in the 1920s (24 Nov).

Further events in 2011 will ask what shapes people's identities, what our
dreams mean and how psychoanalysis can help us understand incomprehensible
events. There will also be film screenings and the opportunity to find out
what it is like to be an analyst or to be the person on the couch. The
closing event next spring will discuss Freud's seminal work, Civilization and
its Discontents.
