Tavistock Trauma Service: external lectures on trauma summer 2023 lecture 2 (CPD45C)

Ethics in Practice: applied ethics for psychoanalytic practice

This lecture is also available as part of a series.

This innovative series of lectures is 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.

This is the second lecture in the summer 2023 series.

Lecture 2: Ethics in Practice: applied ethics for psychoanalytic practice

Thursday 1 June 2023

This lecture will be recorded.

Lecturer: Prof. Alessandra Lemma

Prof Alessandra Lemma will explore issues of ethical practice in psychoanalytic therapy – a topic that has considerable overlap with principles of trauma-informed care.

The paper’s main objective is to make the case for the centrality of applied ethics to psychoanalytic practice. It focuses on the articulation of an accessible framework for developing and exercising an identifiable method – an ethical self-discipline – to support critical reflection on psychoanalytic work with patients and to help therapists approach the resolution of ethical dilemmas.  

Key concepts from the field of applied ethics, and bioethics specifically, will be outlined and then re-interpreted for use within a psychoanalytic framework.
