Tavistock Trauma Service: external lectures on trauma spring 2025 lecture 3 (CPD45B)
Sentenced to Life: Type 1 Diabetes and Disordered Eating
This lecture is also available as part of a series.
This lecture is part of an innovative series organised by the Tavistock Trauma Service and is designed to reflect the clinical approach of the work whilst emphasising an adapted psychoanalytic approach with multi-modality and trauma-informed care.
We also use neurobiological and attachment theory to understand the impact of trauma. Our series will present a range of external speakers, each experts in the field, who will bring their own understanding of trauma via a presentation, followed by an audience question and answer session.
Who is this lecture for?
It is for you if you are a professional working within the mental health field who have an interest in trauma. You may be a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker, mental health nurse, support worker, counsellor or therapist.
Our talks will cover neurobiology, attachment theory and different psychoanalytic perspectives on trauma, including historical child sexual abuse.

Lecture 3: Sentenced to Life: Type 1 Diabetes and Disordered Eating.
6 March 2025
This lecture will be recorded.
Lecturer: Diane Turner
I intend to address the significant trauma of a group of patients, diagnosed with a chronic metabolic condition in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood, who refuse to accept the life sentence that they receive. I will specifically address the nihilism, the catastrophic impact upon the body and mind of this group, and the destructive strategies that they employ to disavow the reality of the condition.
I will use clinical material from my work and research into this group of patients which examines the unconscious phantasies which proliferate and condemn them to an existence literally on the edge of life and death.
There will also be a demonstration of how focussed psychoanalytic work can help.
