A Half Day Event
Friday 20th June, 1:30pm – 6:15pm.
We welcome attendance by members and non-members to celebrate the work of our colleague.
Dr Gwen Adshead qualified as a group analyst at the IGA in 2000. She is a forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist in the NHS; an award-winning author; Honorary Clinical Professor, School of Psychology, University of Exeter; Past President, International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy; Honorary Fellow, Royal College of Psychiatrists and recipient of its President’s medal for her work in medical ethics.
Gwen delivered the BBC’s Reith Lectures in 2024, the first mental health specialist to do so. She delivered some of the lectures in a prison setting, another first.
Â
Her series, Four Questions About Violence, is available online at:
On welcoming Gwen back to the IGA, she will speak about her years of practice in the field; background and training at the IGA; contribution to forensic psychotherapy; and recent experience delivering the Reith Lectures.
After refreshments we will meet in small groups, each convened by a group analyst, to talk about the implications of Gwen’s dedication to practice in the working lives of others; and we will then reassemble for a Large Group.
