Psychoanalyst and Professor of Psychoanalytic Psychology, Brunel University London
I’m a professor of psychoanalytic psychology at Brunel University London and a psychoanalyst in private practice. Over the past 25 years, I’ve done extensive research on the history, theory and practice of psychoanalysis. I've written quite a few books on the work of Jacques Lacan, who during the 1950s revolutionized psychoanalysis in his own idiosyncratic way. I’ve also been the chair of the Freud Museum London, and I'm currently a fellow at the museum.
For Lacan, working clinically as a psychoanalyst means that you create a space in which a patient is being given the opportunity to speak their mind without the analyst imposing any preconceived meaning upon that discourse.
