ABSTRACT

“Well, it is an unexpected pleasure for me, in the absence of Siobhan O’Connor, to introduce our keynote speaker, Don Campbell. For those of you who do not know about Don’s career, it is a very distinguished psychoanalytic career. Don has been a past president of the British Psychoanalytic Society, Secretary General of the International Psychoanalytic Association and has worked for over thirty years in the National Health Service at the Portman Clinic in London. Within the British Society, he is a training analyst, and he has published widely on a range of topics, including violence, suicide, perversion, and adolescence. It is with great pleasure that I pass over to Don to speak to us today.”
