SUMMARY:Psychosocial Studies Online Reading Group: Invisible Trauma Women\, Difference and the Criminal Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Anna Motz\, Maxine Dennis\, Anne Aiyegbusi\nWe have a very special event for the final reading group of the summer. Anna Motz\, Maxine Dennis\, Anne Aiyegbusi will be presenting their new book: Invisible Trauma : Women\, Difference and the Criminal Justice System \nA sample chapter can be downloaded here \nYou can order the book from the publisher’s website here \n  \nAbstract: \nThere is an expectation that women will be nurturers and carers. Women who have been judged violent\, destructive and criminal and who are detained in the criminal justice system can find themselves perceived through a distorted lens as unwomanly. This book explains how they become hypervisible in their difference\, while the histories of trauma and suffering that are communicated through their offending and other risk behaviour remain hidden\, and so are unseen. \n  \nBringing together authors uniquely placed as experts in their fields\, Invisible Trauma argues that it is essential to trace the traumatic roots of women’s violence and criminality. Powerful intergenerational factors perpetuate the cycles of offending and trauma re-enactment that current sentencing practice overlooks. The authors present a psychoanalytically informed account of the development of violence and other offending\, identifying pathways for change to address trauma within the lives of these women and their children\, and also to create a responsive\, effective and sensitive workforce. \n  \nInvisible Trauma highlights the role of emotional\, social and cultural forces in traumatising women who come into contact with the criminal justice system and uncovers areas of their lives that are all too often hidden from view. It will be invaluable to those working in clinical and forensic psychology\, mental health nursing\, psychotherapy\, social work\, medical practice and women’s health\, as well as frontline practitioners in the criminal justice system\, the health service and third sector organisations and for anyone with an interest in racism\, equality and social justice. \nAll registered attendees should automatically be sent a Zoom link. The link will be re-sent the day of the event.  \n  \nAuthor biographies: \nAnna Motz is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist working with adults and adolescents\, and also a consultant clinical and forensic psychologist with extensive experience of assessing and treating people who have long-standing difficulties with violence against themselves and others. Anna Motz is also the author of The Psychology of Female Violence: Crimes Against the Body (Routledge\, 2008) editor of Managing Self Harm: Psychological Perspectives (Routledge\, 2009) and Toxic Couples: The Psychology of Domestic Violence (Routledge\, 2014.) \nMaxine Dennis is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst (British Psychoanalytic Society) and is Groups Lead in the Adult Department\, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. She is also a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Essex Clinical Psychology Department where she organises and contributes to the teaching on diversity and psychotherapy. Currently she is Chair of the British Psychoanalytic Council Task Group on Ethnicity\, Culture and Racism. \nAnne Aiyegbusi is a Mental Health Nurse\, Forensic Psychotherapist and Group Analyst. She manages a clinical network for personality disorder at West London NHS Trust and is a Director of Psychological Approaches CIC. Anne has extensive experience of working with women who have histories of self-harm\, trauma and offending; and of working with racism in forensic and psychotherapeutic contexts. Anne is a member of the Board of Trustees at the Institute of Group Analysis where she is also a member of the Diversity in Training Group\, prioritising issues of ‘Power\, Privilege and Position’. \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.

SUMMARY:Psychosocial Cartographies
DESCRIPTION:Cartography\, the art and science of mapping space\, has a history which cannot be separated from issues of power\, control and alienation. Indeed\, mapping the Americas\, Asia and Africa was integral to colonial projects to dominate the land as well as all that inhabited it. As thinkers such as Frantz Fanon and Michel Foucault demonstrate throughout their oeuvres (cf. “On Violence” from The Wretched of the Earth and “Panopticism” from Discipline and Punish)\, controlling a space directly impacts the psychic development of those who inhabit that space. This is to say that mapping always already has implications that are psychosocial in nature. \nThere is also an important\, if often overlooked\, history of psychosocial approaches to cartography. Examples of this include: Fanon who was\, in the words of his mentor François Tosquelles\, first and foremost a thinker of space; Fernand Deligny’s work with non-verbal autistic children mapping how they inhabit space in order to establish therapeutic relationships with them; Félix Guattari famously approached his understanding of the unconscious via cartography\, a practice indebted to Deligny; and Jean Oury\, Guattari’s long-time collaborator and the founder and director of La Borde Clinic\, whose approach to psychotherapy began with a phenomenological mapping of the clinic. Different from psychogeography and the dérive\, the afore mentioned practitioners actively mapped space in order to radically rework it\, disalienating the institutional arrangements and the individuals within. \nToday\, be it in relationship to issues of racialisation\, digital networks\, urban studies\, climate change\, political transformations\, prison abolition\, clinical work in hospitals or care in the community\, the need for a psychosocial understanding of cartography is perhaps more urgent than ever. This conference will seek to elicit psychosocial approaches to mapping space in order to inform how we might address the spatial concerns that structure contemporary issues of race\, geography\, psychotherapy\, ecology and politics. \nThis two-day conference will involve a blended (in person and online) programme of panels\, experiential interventions and a keynote presentation by Anne Querrien. \nhttps://www.psychosocialcartographies.com/ \nEmail question to Anthony Faramelli at a.faramelli@gold.ac.uk
