SUMMARY:APS Reading Group: Spaces of Refuge: Guattari and Institutional Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION:For our February Reading Group Rachel Wilson and Anthony Faramelli will be presenting their recently published article exploring the psychosocial pressures associated with seeking refuge and their argument as to why the “ethico-aesthetic” clinical practices found in Institutional Psychotherapy offer a grounded way to house those in need of asylum. \nThe article is available to download for free here \nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/association-for-psychosocial-studies-february-online-reading-group-tickets-533876618337 \nAbstract: \nFélix Guattari’s work is most commonly discussed (and overshadowed by) his collaborations with Gilles Deleuze. This minimisation allows for a misrepresentation of Guattari’s work that minimises the fact that his theoretical writings were always couched in a grounded clinical practice. A practice which constitutes a politics of the sector. \n  \nGuattari’s prescient final text\, Chaosmosis\, argues that the conditions of Capital responsible for the current social-psychic-ecological crisis of migration demand modes of analysis capable of grasping their complexity\, ones grounded in the ethico-aesthetic. It is a text that draws directly from the therapeutic practice that he\, Tosquelles\, Oury\, and others in the Institutional Psychotherapy (IP) movement developed in their clinics. This work entailed the inclusion of aesthetic practices that work to deterritorialise the institution\, shifting from carceral sites and creating therapeutic spaces of care and refuge. \n  \nThis article explores the centrality of an ethico-aesthetic approach to the understanding of therapeutic space within the sites and clinical practice of Institutional Psychotherapy. Looking especially at daily life and the inclusion of aesthetic practice\, it examines the particular notion of asylum that emerged in these sites that so informed the clinical and critical work of Guattari and Deleuze\, and draws connections to the current global crisis of migration in the necessity of such sites to the forced segregation between those deemed mad and sane. \n  \nAll registered attendees should automatically be sent a Zoom link. The link will be re-sent the day of the event. \n  \nAuthor biographies: \n  \nRachel Wilson is a Recovery Coordinator in an accommodation service for people with high support mental health needs operated by the charity SHP. As a researcher\, Rachel’s work is situated at the intersection of radical forms of psychotherapy\, aesthetics\, filmmaking and the histories of institutional analysis. She is currently conducting her doctoral studies in the Department of Visual Cultures\, Goldsmiths\, University of London. Rachael is also a researcher at the Centre for Institutional Analysis and a member of the Network for Institutional Analysis. \n  \nAnthony Faramelli is an organisational consultant and a lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths\, University of London where he co-directs\, with Janna Graham\, the Centre for Institutional Analysis. Anthony’s research is situated at the intersection of psychosocial theory\, recent French philosophy and postcolonial theory\, with a focus on Institutional Psychotherapy and the work of Félix Guattari and Frantz Fanon. Anthony is also a member of the Executive Board of the Association for Psychosocial Studies and a member of the Network for Institutional Analysis. \n  \nOther events are currently in the planning stage\, follow us on Twitter\, Facebook or sign up as a Member to keep up to date with everything.
