'On Adolescence', A public lecture by Dr Luis Rodriguez de la Sierra

We invite you to a NIPaS Public Lecture ‘On Adolescence’ by distinguished psychoanalyst Dr Luis Rodriguez de la Sierra on Friday 3 March 2.15 – 4.30pm in Knockbracken Hall, Knockbraken Health Care Park, Belfast.

This talk will be of interest to professionals working with children, teenagers, or adults. During the talk Dr de la Sierra will focus on the problems which the individual has to deal with in adolescence related in particular to the adolescent's reactions / responses to the physical development of his/her sexual body, and the changing relationship to the parents and to the world in which he/she lives. He will outline how the step from adolescence to adulthood is complex and involves not only the individual’s personal emotional experience, but also the continuous input, reactions from the world in which he/she lives.

Dr Luis Rodríguez de la Sierra is a Training and Supervising Adult and Child and Adolescent Psychoanalyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society. He qualified as a psychiatrist in Barcelona and London, where he also trained as a Group psychotherapist. He worked for many years in the NHS and at the Anna Freud Centre and currently works at the London Clinic of Psychoanalysis and in private practice. He has published papers on child analysis and drug addiction, and has co-authored The Late Teenage Years: From Seventeen to Adulthood, and also edited Child Analysis Today.

To register, please contact Fiona Wilson at Niasp_knockbracken@yahoo.co.uk

There is no charge for this event. However, as NIPaS is a registered charity, a donation to cover our expenses and support our work (perhaps £20) would be gratefully appreciated.

Reading Seminar Group: The Work of Anna Freud

NIPaS offers a regular guided reading group for Guest members, which meets on six Tuesday evenings and three Saturday mornings each term. The Tuesday seminars are led by experienced NIPaS analysts and the Saturday seminars are led by distinguished visiting analysts. Recent terms have been devoted to classic texts by Freud and Melanie Klein, and to the Controversial Discussions in the British Society in the early 1940s.

This term (Jan - April 2023) sees a focus on the work of Anna Freud. Future terms will be devoted to the work of specific authors, such as Winnicott, Balint, Fairbairn, the Sandlers, Andre Green; or to thematic topics such as transference/countertransference, the meaning of dreams, sexuality and gender.
