British Journal of Psychotherapy
Published in association with the British Association of Psychotherapists
The British Journal of Psychotherapy (BJP) occupies a unique place in the field of psychotherapy journals with an Editorial Board drawn from a wide range of psychotherapy training organisations. Although psychoanalytic psychotherapy is its primary focus, it has traditionally sought to make links and comparisons with other therapeutic methods. Its aim, therefore, although not necessarily integrative, is inclusive. It is a Journal for working clinicians, addressing their professional concerns: developments in research; considerations of theory and technique; applications of psychoanalytic thinking; and the politics of the profession.

The Aesthetic Development in Psychoanalytic Thinking
Continuing Professional Development Programme at the Tavistock Centre, London
This series of talks by Meg Harris Williams focuses on the psychoanalytic theories of Wilfred Bion and Donald Meltzer and on the links which they had begun to establish between psychoanalysis and the arts.
Bion and Meltzer were at the forefront of enabling psychoanalysis to acquire an aesthetic dimension in terms of both the psychoanalytic encounter and the model of the mind employed. They considered it of vital importance that this dimension should be recognized and its rich and dyamic potential fully utilized.
These lectures are designed for clinical practitioners who are interested in exploring Bion's question 'What sort of artists can we be?' and also for those who wish to pursue the fundamental humanistic implications of this interdisciplinary area that spans psychoanalysis, the arts and aesthetic appreciation.
The material used as a basis for the course will include the writings of Bion and Meltzer, some examples from poetry and philosophy and some writings on aesthetics, in particular those of Susanne Langer and Adrian Stokes.
