SUMMARY:Spaces of Refuge: The Clinical Practice of Félix Guattari and Institutional Psychotherapy with Rachel Wilson and Anthony Faramelli
DESCRIPTION:Association for Psychosocial Studies Online Reading Group\nSpaces of Refuge: The Clinical Practice of Félix Guattari and Institutional Psychotherapy\nwith Rachel Wilson and Anthony Faramelli\nREGISTER HERE \nFriday 25 November 2022\, 4 – 6pm  \nRachel Wilson and Anthony Faramelli will discuss the legacies of Félix Guattari’s clinical practice\, Institutional Psychotherapy\, and how this should inform our current approaches to issues of asylum and refuge for this months’ APS online reading group. \nThe article is available to download here \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. \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. \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. \nAll registered attendees should automatically be sent a Zoom link. The link will be re-sent the day of the event.  \nAuthor biographies: \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. \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. \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.

SUMMARY:Lynne Layton on 'Social Psychoanalysis\, Normative Unconscious Processes\, and an Ethic of Repair.
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to join us for a public lecture by Lynne Layton on ‘Social Psychoanalysis\, Normative Unconscious Processes\, and an Ethic of Repair. The lecture is part of the seminar series on ‘Decolonising Counselling and Psychotherapy: Reflections from Psychosocial Perspectives’\, organised by Nini Kerr\, Rhea Gandhi\, and Mariya Levitanus\, in collaboration with the Association for Psychosocial Studies.\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, 5th June\, from 2-3pm.\nHow: MS Teams – please contact Rhea Gandhi for the link to join the event\n\nSession abstract\nThis talk takes up the question of what a social psychoanalysis might look like in the clinic\, in our psychoanalytic institutions\, and in our society. Drawing on some earlier psychoanalysts’ concepts that have connected the social world and the psychic world\, I introduce the concept of normative unconscious processes\, which addresses the ways that racism\, heterosexism\, classism and other social inequalities are unconsciously replicated in the clinic. The talk then explores how therapists can resist unconsciously replicating such cultural inequalities. We will then look outside the clinic at how cultural inequalities manifest in the wider circles of contemporary institutional and sociocultural life. Here\, too\, we will explore how we\, as citizens and therapists\, both unconsciously replicate and can resist replicating harmful\, unequal relations. We will think together about how to address the places in our different subjective and communal worlds where harm has been done\, and engage together on how to make repair.\n\nAuthor bio:\nLynne Layton has a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and in Clinical Psychology.
