The state we are in - psychotherapy for interesting times

An thrilling afternoon of drama and debate, the event begins with a vibrant professional reading of Josh Appignanesi's new play, where rival therapists go head to head over dinner, exposing each other's limitations - whatever the cost. Josh says that 'Well, Being' 'tackles with comic aplomb the clash between cognitive behavioural and psychoanalytic therapies - and how these two approaches relate to the modern managerial State's desire to quantify and control'.

Afterwards, a fabulous panel of discussants respond to the play, bringing wide ranging perspectives about the most urgent priorities for contemporary psychotherapy:

Josh Appignanesi , Filmmaker (The New Man, The Infidel) and playwright
Haya Oakley, Psychoanalyst
Dr Judith Anderson, Jungian Analytic Psychotherapist, of the Climate Psychology Alliance
Phil Mollon PhD, Psychoanalyst and Energy Psychotherapist
