ABSTRACT

It gives me enormous pleasure to welcome Neville back here to the Tavistock, because as you will have seen from the programme he was in fact a member of the Adult Department of the Tavistock of 1977-85, and during that time students were enormously stimulated by the lectures that he gave, which eventually were published in book form as The Analytic Experience, which I think is a most wonderful introduction to what psychoanalysis and the psychoanalytic experience is like. Neville has gone on to publish a number of other books which will be displayed tomorrow and on Sunday, and each one is full of most original thought which is enormously stimulating and challenging, and full of courage to face issues which most of us don't.
