SUMMARY:APS Reading Group: On Disappointment: promoting ordinary conversation for\, an in\, extraordinary times
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our monthly online reading groups where we will be coming together and discussing topical articles drawn from The Journal of Psychosocial Studies. \nThis month Christopher Scanlon’s article\, “On Disappointment\, Failure and Forgivness: promoting ordinary conversation for\, and in\, extraordinary times?” \nA free copy of the article is available to download here \nAbstract\nTo be disappointed is to be human\, to be disappointing is also to be human. This article will invite reflection upon the under-theorised phenomenon of disappointment and its relationship to ‘failure’\, to ‘hope’ and perhaps even ‘forgiveness’ (or the lack if it). The central premise is that to engage with ‘disappointment’ in our internal relatedness\, and in our interpersonal and social relationships may enable us to re-connect with our own and others’ humanity – and not to do so is to remain stuck\, aggrieved\, resentful and locked into cycles of reciprocal self- and other-destructive violence and recrimination. The article will seek to explore disappointment as a ‘disturbance of groupishness’ (Bion\, 1961\, emphasis added)\, ‘a location of disturbance’ (Foulkes\, 1948/1983 emphasis added) and a way of structuring the traumatised organisation-in-the-mind (Armstrong\, 2005; Scanlon\, 2012). The article will conclude with an invitation for psycho-social practitioners to leave our psycho-social retreats (consulting rooms\, libraries\, classrooms and the like) and\, once again\, to engage more deliberatively with conversations in ‘public spheres’ (Habermas\, 1968). \n\nAuthor biography:\nChristopher Scanlon is an Independent Psycho-socialist Researcher and Consultant\, a Training Group Analyst of the Institute of Group Analysis (London) and the Irish Group Analytic Society (Dublin) and Lecturer in Organisational Consultancy\, Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust/University of Essex. Chris is also on the Executive Board of the Association for Psychosocial Studies. \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 . Members will continue to receive copies of the Journal of Psychosocial Studies as a further benefit of subscription to the Association.
