Open Seminar (Southend Campus)
Emotional Development: Putting ‘Personality Disorder’ on the map (Rex Haigh)
Abstract: The talk will be an explanation of disturbance of emotional development – what is needed for normal and healthy ‘primary emotional development’, what can go wrong with that, and what we can do about it as therapy in ‘secondary emotional development’. I’ll use a ‘tube map’ we have developed at the Department of Health to illustrate it and explain how we are hoping to develop that into an online interactive tool, in partnership with service user organisations. If I have time I will propose some radical rethinking about the disputed territory between ‘complex PTSD’, ‘borderline personality disorder’ and ‘bipolar disorder’.
Rex Haigh is a consultant psychiatrist in Berkshire, clinical advisor to the National Personality Disorder Development Programme, and founder of the ‘Community of Communities’ quality network at the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He is involved with several 3rd sector organisations including Exclusion Link CIC, Emergence CIC, the Association of Therapeutic Communities, Community Housing and Therapy, the Society for Psychotherapy Research and the British and Irish Group for the Study of Personality Disorder. He has written and published numerous articles about therapeutic communities and personality disorder, and is co-editor of both the Jessica Kingsley “Community, Culture and Change” book series and the International Journal of Therapeutic Communities.
The Open Seminars all take place in Southend Lecture Room 5 at 5:30pm.

Open Seminar (Colchester Campus)
Reverie in psycho-social research method (Wendy Hollway, Open University)
Abstract: Social science research is underpinned by a positivist, cognitive analytic epistemology. Psychoanalysis, especially in Bion's concept of reverie, is based on a different kind of knowing which is widely seen as central to clinical technique. How does reverie translate into psycho-social research methodology, with what effects? In this talk, I use examples from my research on the identity transition involved when women become mothers for the first time; examples that pertain to reflexive field notes, psychoanalytic observation, data analysis and writing cases. The direction of these methods is discussed in terms of subjectivity, objectivity, validity and ethics in research knowing.
Wendy Hollway is Professor in Psychology at the Open University. She is interested in applying psychoanalytic principles to theorising subjectivity, to methodology and to empirical research on identity. Her current ESRC-funded Fellowship 'Maternal Identities, Care and Intersubjectivity' uses previous data derived from free association narrative interview and psychoanalytic observation methods and develops epistemological and ethical, as well as ontological, implications. She is working on a book provisionally entitled 'Mothers' Knowing/ Knowing Mothers'.
Discussant: Professor R D Hinshelwood (Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies)
The Open Seminars all take place in room 4N.6.1 from 5.00-6.30pm

Open Seminar (Southend Campus)
Found objects and mirroring forms (Dr. Ken Wright)
Abstract: I use some comments of Henry Moore about his method of working to consider the relation between outer form and inner experience in the creation of a work of art. Moore valued his ‘found objects’ because they held the seeds of his sculptural ‘ideas’ and although he made no connection between such forms and the ‘forms of feeling’ (Langer), he still described his sculptures in living terms, as though they had an inner life. The idea that physical objects are able to contain ‘forms of feeling’ leads to Winnicott’s work on transitional objects, and a view of the baby’s bit of blanket as a first ‘found object’. I follow this theme through Winnicott’s later work on the mother’s face as the child’s first mirror, and Stern’s work on maternal attunement, and I use their ideas to throw light on aesthetic activity and the process of artistic creation.
Dr. Ken Wright is a member of the British Psychoanalytic Society, Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and Society of Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapists. He is also Patron of the Squiggle Foundation. At different times a general psychiatrist and GP, he now works exclusively as psychoanalyst/psychoanalytic psychotherapist in private practice. He has published many papers and articles from a Winnicottian perspective but is best known for his book Vision and Separation - Between Mother and Baby which was published by Free Association Books, 1991 and awarded the Margaret Mahler Literature prize in 1992. His second book, Mirroring and Attunement: Self-realization in Psychoanalysis and Art, was published last year by Routledge.
