Opis

Psychiatry and psychoanalysis have often been perceived to be in opposition to one another, to the detriment of both disciplines. Rather than see -organic- psychiatry on one side and -dynamic- psychiatry on the other, the British Psychoanalytical Society is now fostering closer links between psychoanalysis and psychiatry.

To this end, a conference was held at the Institute of Psychoanalysis entitled -The Organic and the Inner World-. It was organized by the NHS Liaison committee of the British Psychoanalytical Society and its purpose was to consider the place for analytic thinking in the world of psychiatry with its emphasis on an organic approach to major psychiatric disorders. This volume collects the papers from this conference.
