The talk will focus on the classical Freudian approach to mourning – a multifaceted inquiry into all the dimensions of the lost object, that will be a central concern of any psychoanalytic practice.

Conor McCormack will use a visual presentation to explore the representation of mourning and melancholia throughout the modern era. The loss of a loved one can feel like the end of the world, but can also be a portal to transcendence, illuminating existence like no other experience.

WPF has helped so many over the past 50+ years. To continue to offer inclusive and affordable therapy we urgently need your help and without it we will be unable to continue to help those that currently depend on us and those that are yet to come.

Please help us keep this much loved charity going by donating to our emergency fundraiser: http://www.wpf.org.uk/emergency-campaign

By helping us, you will give us the chance to reach the exciting future we have planned, one where we are able to move our diverse community to light filled clinic rooms and a purpose built training suite. But to get there, we need to raise £125k to bridge us over the summer when we are facing financial crisis due to rising costs and a delay in selling our building.

We are grateful for any support you can provide and would appreciate you sharing this appeal across your networks.

The funds raised will be used for our general charitable purposes and we will use them in the way that we feel is best to achieve our mission. For example, this could be by funding our move to our new home or covering the essentials to keep WPF going.
