The Portman Clinic, now in its 75th year, is offering a series of monthly talks aimed specifically at people, perhaps at the beginning of their careers, who may be interested in gaining some psychoanalytic understanding of sexual perversions, delinquency and violence.
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to psychoanalytic ideas in this area in an accessible way, for people with no prior knowledge of either psychoanalysis or forensic patient groups.
While the course is open to all, it is hoped that it will interest people, likely to be in the age range 21 to 30, who have recently graduated in any degree and who may be thinking about, have already embarked upon, or have already completed trainings in clinical psychology, social work, medicine, probation, nursing (including psychiatric) or other related fields.
People who are perhaps exploring different directions to take would find these talks informative, gaining a psychoanalytic view of the problems people encounter and an understanding of the contribution of those working in what has become known as the forensic sector. They would also have the opportunity to see what psychotherapy as a profession would be like.
