Bion, Richman, Harold Bridger, S.J. Foulkes, Maxwell Jones and Tom Main. In Italy with Franco Bassaglia and Diego Napolitani. But while it is true that psychoanalytic thinking only ever takes place within a specific tradition of thinking, there is always scope for a cross over. This conference – the second in a series – aims precisely at a mutual sharing of ideas between clinicians and academics across divergent discourses, dialects and traditions. In the last two years over 1,500 professionals from 65 different countries have joined INDTC. Why is interest in therapeutic communities growing so fast? What is the experience of international cross cultural cooperation like? Is it relevant for you - should you be getting involved? This is a day for anyone wanting answers to these questions, and suitable for psychiatrists, psychologists, students and others in the field of mental health, for those who commission services, people with personal experience of mental ill health, family members, and anyone trying to support people experiencing mental ill health.
