PARTICIPANTS
This seminar is open to all APS members and interested mental health professionals who are not members.  It is not limited to individuals practicing in a predominately psychoanalytic mode.
 

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
As a theoretician and psychoanalyst, Harry Guntrip holds a central place in the history of psychoanalysis.  His legacy of ideas, though overshadowed by many other better-known English and Scottish psychoanalysts, helped to form a radical intellectual tradition, which moved definitively beyond Freud's theories about instinct, repetition, compulsion, and the nature of unconscious process.  His studies on the Object Relations Theory of Ronald Fairbairn created an atmosphere that lent intellectual rigor and longevity to psychoanalytic commentary.  His observations on the talents of Fairbairn and Winnicott helped to clarify how their personalities shaped their treatment approaches and theorizing.
