SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis Meets Virtual Reality
DESCRIPTION:A one day event using a series of group activities to reflect on our individual &collective experience of virtual reality \nThere is a significant amount of work happening at the interface between research on mental health and Virtual Reality (VR)\, Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR). This work brings together artists\, curators\, clinical practitioners\, patient advocates\, academics and activists. VR\, AR and MR make use of arts-based technologies to facilitate individuals having an immersive sensuous experience by means of wearing a headset. Some experiences require the individual to engage with the environment – opening virtual doors or moving simulated objects\, for example – while other experiences play out for the individual a bit like a cinematic encounter\, by engaging the senses of sight and hearing. \nThis event will include an individual VR experience\, ‘Perinatal Dreaming’ (fEEL 2023)\, which will be launched at the event. This will be followed by a number of small and large group activities to help us to reflect on\, and talk about\, our individual and collective encounters with ‘Perinatal Dreaming’. We will also have an opportunity to hear from Professor Jill Bennett and Dr Gail Kenning from the Big Anxiety Research Centre (BARC) and the felt Experience & Experience Lab (fEEL) at the University of New South Wales\, Sydney about their work\, and discuss what VR\, AR and MR might offer psychoanalysis and vice versa. We will consider the importance of VR\, AR and MR experiences within the context of arts and mental health projects more broadly. The emphasis will be on experience\, reflection and conversation throughout the day. \nWhat kinds of feelings might be evoked and/or contained while engaging in VR\, AR and MR experiences? How might our engagement with VR\, AR and MR experiences help us to become more aware of\, and reflective about\, the operation of introjection and projection? Might VR\, AR and MR have a place in our clinics and/or as part of our clinical training programmes? What\, in particular\, might the ‘Perinatal Dreaming’ VR experience contribute to our thinking about the long-term impact of early life experiences? How might our participation in group activities\, underpinned by psychoanalytic thinking\, help us to make meaning of our individual encounters with the ‘Perinatal Dreaming’ VR experience? These questions will frame our event. \nThis event will be of interest to anyone interested psychoanalysis and VR\, AR and MR. It will be of particular interest to psychoanalysts\, psychotherapists\, psychologists\, counsellors\, group analysts\, play therapists\, arts therapists\, social workers and social care workers\, mental health workers\, youth workers\, artists\, performers and curators\, as well as academic researchers and students in the fields of psychosocial studies\, cultural studies\, and in the arts\, humanities and social sciences more broadly. Given the focus of this event on the unconscious\, the birth experience\, and the long-term impact of early life experiences\, participating in the VR experience and group activities might bring up painful feelings or memories. This event is an in-person event. It will not be recorded. \nThe event is organised by Professor Lynn Froggett (University of Central Lancashire)\, Dr Noreen Giffney (Ulster University\, Belfast)\, Professor Jill Bennett (University of New South Wales\, Sydney) and Dr Gail Kenning (University of New South Wales\, Sydney). \nThe event is sponsored by the Association for Psychosocial Studies\, the Big Anxiety Research Centre\, felt Experience & Empathy Lab\, and Psychoanalysis +\, and the Institute of Group Analysis in London\, UCLan’s Psychosocial Research Centre and Ulster University’s Communication\, Media and Cultural Studies \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/psychoanalysis-meets-virtual-reality-tickets-623270939157

SUMMARY:Counselling and Psychotherapy in Times of Political Violence
DESCRIPTION:Registration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/counselling-and-psychotherapy-in-times-of-political-violence-tickets-648236010357?aff=oddtdtcreator \n“Counselling and Psychotherapy in Times of Political Violence” is a transdisciplinary symposium addressing poverty\, forced displacement\, racism\, and misogyny as key forms of political violence which we see on the rise globally. Grounded in the psychosocial perspective that our inner world and the sociopolitical environments are intertwined\, the symposium explores the potential of counselling and psychotherapy in understanding and working with the impacts of political violence in therapeutic and training settings. The symposium brings together researchers from various fields such as culture and media studies\, psychoanalytic and psychosocial studies\, post-colonial studies\, and feminist studies. It promotes a collaborative\, reflexive approach to generate a collective inquiry on the impacts of political violence within therapeutic and training settings and how we may bridge the gap between theory and practice\, psyche and social\, by exploring the political dimensions of counselling and psychotherapy. \nThe symposium will be held at the University of Edinburgh’s Old College. The symposium is convened by Dr Nini Fang and Rhea Gandhi in collaboration with several PhD and ProfDoc students based at Edinburgh\, Mingxi Li\, Kartika Ladwal\, and Sarah Nghidinwa. It is organised jointly by the Centre for Creative-Relational Inquiry and the Association for Psychosocial Studies and is supported by alumni and friends of the University of Edinburgh through the Student Experience Grants scheme and the Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion Grant. \nThe symposium is free to attend and open to all\, bringing together counselling and psychotherapy communities both within and outwith Edinburgh. Lunch (meat\, vegetarian\, and vegan options) and light refreshments will be provided on the day. We would kindly invite that participants with specific food allergy and intolerance to prepare your own food. \nConference convenors: \nDr Nini Fang\, University of Edinburgh nfang@ec.uk \nRhea Gandhi\, University of Edinburgh rhea.gandhi@ed.ac.uk \n  \nSYMPOSIUM SCHEDULE – 30TH JUNE \, FRIDAY \n10.00 – 10.20 Registration \n10.20 – 10.40 Symposium Opening: “Counselling and Psychotherapy in Times of Political Violence” by Dr Nini Fang\, Lecturer and Convenor of the Symposium [University of Edinburgh] \n10.40 – 11.40 Session i:“Poverty as Political Violence” by Dr Lucy Stroud [University of Aberdeen] \nChaired by Mingxi Li\, Prof-Doc Researcher [University of Edinburgh] \n11.40 – 12.00 Coffee/Tea Break \n12.00 – 1.00 Session ii:“Forced Displacement as Political Violence” by Shireen Dossa\, PhD Researcher [University of Essex] \n“Coloniality and racism as political violence”by Rhea Gandhi\, PhD Researcher and Co-convenor of the Symposium [University of Edinburgh] \nChaired by Kartika Ladwal\, Prof-Doc Researcher [University of Edinburgh] \n  \n1-2.30: Lunch @ Playfrair Library\, Old College \n  \n2.30 – 3.30 Session iii:“Misogyny as Political Violence” by Lasse Schaefer\, PhD Researcher [University of Edinburgh] \n“Transphobic ideologies as Political Violence” by Jaz Halow\, Prof-Doc Researcher [University of Edinburgh] \nChaired by Sarah Nghidinwa\, Prof-Doc Researcher [University of Edinburgh] \n  \n3.30 – 3.50 Break \n  \n3.50 – 4.50 Final Plenary: “Counselling and Psychotherapy in Times of Political ViolenceG.159 MacLaren Stuart Room\, Old College \n4.50 – 5.00 Closing and Event Evaluation \n
