Psyche & Imagination - Online Abstract
Pre-Conference Workshop

Renos Papadopoulos

Academic Approaches to the Relationship between Analytical Psychology and Current World Events

This workshop will create a forum to examine the phenomenon of this upsurge of interest in this relationship. It will not be a place to voice claims about this relationship but to identify the imaginings behind such claims and to address the methodology that can make such claims be of academic merit.

Renos Papadopoulos, Ph.D., is professor at the University of Essex, Consultant Clinical Psychologist at the Tavistock Clinic, training and supervising Jungian psychoanalyst, and systemic family psychotherapist. As consultant to the United Nations and other organisations he has worked with refugees and other survivors of political violence in many countries. He is the founder and director of the Masters and PhD programmes in Refugee Care that are offered jointly by the University of Essex and the Tavistock Clinic.
