Money Makes the World Go Round: Or Does It? - 27 Nov - Few tickets remaining
Posted: 25,11,2010
In our culture, the last twenty five years has seen an increasingly high value placed on money, appearances, and fame. There has been a shift of values towards greed and narcissism with personal choice restricted mainly to the wealthy. Now, in the words of Stephen Green (2009), ‘we are at one of those moments in history when it seems as if the tectonic plates are shifting.' I will explore the effects of the present economic and social crisis and consider what analysts could have to offer as a framework of thinking about the meaning of the financial crisis. Money in the field of psychotherapy is unique in that it is both part of the frame and part of the process. However, there is little written about its impact most particularly on the therapist. The paper will offer a theoretical and clinical perspective on these issues, weaving a thread between the individual, group and cultural complexes likely to be touched in the consulting room in the present uncertain world.
