Psychoanalysis was profoundly involved in rethinking the practical and theoretical bases of psychiatric care in the twentieth century.

Psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic collectives, in a plurality of sites across the world, have been invested in reimagining the power relationship between doctor and patient, the representation of madness, and the conception of the psychiatric institution and its role in health and illness. This conference aims to bring into focus the experiments, practices and theoretical underpinnings of the creative boundary-crossing between psychoanalysis and radical psychiatry, including the early involvement of psychoanalysis in psychiatric care in Budapest of the 1920s and 30s. We put the ideas and practices of the Budapest School into dialogue with other traditions of radical psychiatry – from France, to the UK, to Italy, the USA and Latin America – and to celebrate the legacy of radical psychiatry today.

The conference will bring together an interdisciplinary network of scholars and practitioners, including psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, psychosocial thinkers, artists, social theorists, historians, cultural theorists, art historians, film makers and archivists.

In-person and online tickets from £30 – £90.
