PRELIMINARY CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

THURSDAY, 25TH MARCH, 2010
PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP: Applying the Work of Isabel Menzies Lyth to forensic settings: Current Developments

The work of the late Isabel Menzies Lyth (1917-2008), the distinguished psychoanalyst and social scientist, has continued to have a profound influence on the practice of care by informing our understanding of the tremendous emotional impact on staff working in mental health and other institutional settings.

Her insights are very much alive in current research, and have great relevance for practice in forensic settings. This pre conference workshop aims to draw on her ideas, and the experience of participating members, to provide illustrations of the defences and difficulties that arise in the complex tasks of treatment within forensic organisations.
