STATES OF MIND:
DEVELOPMENT AND THE LIFE CYCLE

This study day with Margot Waddell provides a perspective on the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and the nature of human development.

Following the major developmental phases from infancy to old age and drawing upon a wide range of clinical, non-clinical and literary examples, Margot explores those vital aspects of experience which promote mental and emotional growth and those which impede it. The day offers a detailed and accessible examination of contemporary psychoanalytic thought and provide a personal and vivid approach to the elusive question of how the personality develops.
