Slip of the Tongue - Psychoanalysis at Work

with Gabriella Braun

Gabriella has set out to share how psychoanalysis is a tool that everyone can use in their day-to-day lives, especially at work, to help us grow and understand ourselves more deeply. With over 20 years applying psychoanalysis and systems theory to the workplace, her clients range from the British Library and Cambridge University to RADA and UNICEFF.

Topics covered:

• Why psychoanalysis is the most sophisticated method for understanding human nature
• Transference and counter-transference
• Psychoanalysis and the team process
• How the unconscious affects teams and the 3 basic assumptions
• How we know we have an unconscious
• The size of our unconscious (clue - it's big!) and why it changes
• Why so many change programmes fail
• Not every team or organisation is suited to working with their unconscious process
• Our constructive and destructive drives and their importance to individuals, teams and organisations
• First steps to working with the unconscious

Honourable mentions:

• Alfred Adler 
• Carl Jung
• Roberto Assagioli 
• Wilfred Bion 
• Melonie Klein – paranoid-schizoid 
• Sigmund Freud
