SUMMARY:Amanda Jones "Repairing Inevitable Ruptures"
DESCRIPTION:SQUIGGLE ONLINE \nRepairing Inevitable Ruptures \nRecent infancy research offers some useful ideas about how repairing misunderstandings is co-created in parent-baby relationships.  A parent’s history inevitably matters\, but the baby is also an active participant.  Using a case example\, the talk will explore how unconscious processes contribute to what happens. \nDr Amanda Jones is Consultant Perinatal Psychotherapist and Head of a multi-professional community Perinatal Parent–Infant Mental Health Service in London\, UK. She advocates for publicly funded perinatal mental health services\, recognising that emotional and relational challenges can emerge before or during pregnancy and often continue into the toddler years. \nHer leadership is marked by the capacity for the often difficult task of holding in mind the perspectives of parents\, babies and professionals simultaneously. This enables her to create services that are both clinically rigorous and deeply humane. \nInternationally sought after as a teacher and supervisor\, Amanda is widely respected for her ability to translate complex theory in parent–infant psychotherapy into clear\, accessible language. She shares her expertise through professional training\, conference presentations and widely broadcast documentaries\, including the award-winning Help Me Love My Baby\, which has brought the realities of early therapeutic intervention to a broader audience. \n  \nHow to register: \nSquiggle Members free  \nNon-members £30 Tickets via Eventbrite \nStudents £15 contact info@squiggle-foundation.org

SUMMARY:The work of Barbara Dockar Drysdale. A hybrid event convened by IPCAPA & Squiggle
DESCRIPTION:In Person & Online\n  \nBarbara Dockar Drysdale (1912-1999)\n\nFounder & Director of The Mulberry Bush School\, a residential therapeutic school for children.\nConsultant to The Cotswold Community\nPsychotherapist with the British Association of Psychotherapists.\n  \n\n  \n\nShe established her work with severely disturbed children in the period after the Second World War and out of this emerged a close working relationship with Donald Winnicott\, summarised by Mrs Dockar Drysdale in Chapter 1 of The Provision of Primary Experience.\n\n\nIn his Foreword to Therapy and Consultation in child care Winnicott wrote:\n\n“I was excited to find someone who was receptive in an active way. So often one feels: if you don’t know\, how can I tell you! Here was someone who knew\, and who therefore enriched what she heard.”\n\n\n\n\nWinnicott recognised the shared roots of their understanding of the effects of severe deprivation and appreciated how her formulations and and application of these could help children who may not gain benefit from non-residential psychoanalytic treatment interventions or other forms of intervention. Winnicott also appreciated how her ways of describing the children and the terms she coined for these could make his own theoretical  and clinical formulations more understandable and accessible to a wider audience.\nThis collaboration between IPCAPA and Squiggle and emerges from discussions about the continuing significance and importance of Barbara Dockar Drysdale’s work for the care and treatment of severely deprived children who can pose major challenges to social welfare\, education and mental health services. It will consist of two parts to present key aspects of her work and the links with Winnicott’s theories\, and their application to clinical work in residential and non-residential settings.\nThe presentations will include papers by John Whitwell\, (British Psychotherapy Foundation & previously Director of The Cotswold Community) and Adrian Sutton (Director of Squiggle Foundation 2014-25).\nDate: 31/01/2026 Time: 10:00 – 14:45 Venue: Online via Zoom\nPublic admission fee (Online) – £25 Registration page here\nSquiggle members\nfee (Online) – £10; (In Person) – £15.\nYou should have received an email with link details to register.

SUMMARY:RECOVERING PLAY: East Anglian Psychotherapy Network
DESCRIPTION:Speakers\nTim Snelson is Associate Professor in Media History at the University of East Anglia.\nDr Adrian Sutton is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and Psychodynamic Organisational Therapist. He recently retired as Director of The Squiggle Foundation\, and is a Squiggle Foundation Fellow.\nJennifer Davids is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society and a supervising analyst for child and adolescent psychoanalysis\, and psychotherapy\, as well as a member of the ACP UK.\nPlay is a core part of child and adolescent psychoanalytic work but is often overlooked in adult settings. We as therapists may also struggle to allow ourselves to experience play. Recent research has highlighted the importance of play for learning and has revealed the negative impact on development of a lack of free and risky play.\nThis conference aims to help us to think about themes of play in our own individual therapy contexts\, the importance of play throughout the lifespan and how in the digital age play has come to mean different things for all of us.\n\nCost: Full cost £120\nMembers with paid EAPN subscription £105 (Early bird before October 18th £95)\nStudent members with paid subscription £85 (Early bird before October 18th £75)\nTo Book:\nPlease see https://www.eastanglian-psychotherapy.com/post/east-anglian-psychotherapy-network\n\n \n\nPlease note the venue have requested final numbers by 31st October. Therefore this will be the last date for booking.\n\n\n\nParking at the venue and food for the day is included in the cost of the conference.\nFor those travelling by rail\, Norwich station is 5min walk away from the venue.

SUMMARY:Madeleine Davis Lecture 2025: "Winnicott in America in the New Millenium: The Work of Thomas Ogden"\, Joseph Aguayo\, Ph.D. (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:SQUIGGLE ONLINE\n“Winnicott in America in the New Millenium: The Work of Thomas Ogden”\nThis 50-minute presentation is divided into two parts: firstly\, I deal with how starting in 1979\, Thomas Ogden interested himself in amalgamating the work of various British Object Relations theorists. From 1979 to 1994 – at which point he published one of his most famous papers\, ‘The Analytic Third: Intersubjectivity and Clinical Facts’ – his work appeared to be that of a Kleinian-leaning American Independent. Less concerned with the tripartite theoretical and clinical divisions of the British Psychoanalytical Society\, very much in the spirit of Winnicott in ‘Primitive Emotional Development\,’ Ogden took a ‘pick and choose’ attitude towards those aspects of Klein and Winnicott that he slowly blended together into his own hybrid approach.\nWith this approach in hand\, I then deal with some of the interpretive work Ogden did with some of D.W. Winnicott’s most iconic papers in the new Millenium: ‘Mind in Relation to the Psyche-Soma;’ ‘Transitional Objects and Transitional Phenomena;’ ‘Communicating and Not Communicating Leading to a Study of Certain Opposites;’ and ‘Use of an Object and Relating Through Identifications.’ The focus here will be on the distinctive way Ogden has read and made meaning of Winnicott’s papers.\n  \nJoseph Aguayo\, Ph.D.\, is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Psychoanalytic Center of California and a Guest Member of the British Psychoanalytical Society. He holds Ph.D.s in both Clinical Psychology and European History from UCLA.\nDr. Aguayo has published four books on Bion’s work: W. R. Bion’s Clinical Seminars in Los Angeles  (2013); Bion in Buenos Aires (2017); Introducing the Clinical Work of W.R. Bion (2023); and Bion in the Consulting Room: An Implicit Method of Clinical Inquiry (with Hinshelwood\, Dermen and Abel-Hirsch).\nHis upcoming publication of which he is the editor\, Winnicott in America (Oxford Univ. Press)\, is a collection of papers on the various presentations given by Winnicott in his visits to the United States in the 1960s.\nAguayo also founded and directs the Regional Bion Symposium\, a consortium of North American analysts\, who attend year-round online meetings on Bion\, Winnicott\, Klein and Post-Bionians. On July 4th\, he gave a lecture on Bion’s Case of the Imaginary Twin at the London Institute; and on July 12th\, he also gave the Debbie Bellman Memorial Lecture at the British Psychoanalytic Association in London on the topic of ‘Winnicott’s Relationship to the Work of Melanie Klein.’\nSquiggle Members free Non-members £30+Booking fee (tickets via Eventbrite) \nStudents £15 contact info@squiggle-foundation.org \nA number of bursaries are available: contact us for details. \nFurther information: info@squiggle-foundation.org

SUMMARY:Winnicott & the pat(t)ernal element: Joona Taipale
DESCRIPTION:SQUIGGLE ONLINE\n  \nJoona Taipale is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Sciences & Philosophy\, University of Jyvaskyla.\nIn March this year\, he presented a paper for Squiggle which he originally called Winnicott and the environment-father but which he then re-named Winnicott and the pat(t)ernal element.\nThis change of title proved both intriguing and apposite. He brought a philosophical perspective to Winnicott’s ideas on the role of the Father which was simultaneously theoretical and instantly recognisable as clinically important.\nWinnicott and the pat(t)ernal element: abstract\n\nTraversing less-examined threads in Winnicott’s work\, and focusing on the temporal dimensions of experience\, the paper introduces and examines the concept of a patterning function. The origins of this function are traced back to the rhythmic cycle of need and satisfaction\, which Winnicott discusses in terms of “object-creation” and “object-destruction”\, and which introduces the child with future-directedness and hence a nascent sense of going-on-being. As will be shown\, the patterning function may only be associated with external objects après-coup\, and the range of such objects is not teleologically set from the start. The consequence of the claim that the patterning function is already found in the infant’s emergent sense of going-on-being\, which enables their possible father-identifications\, is that the patterning function cannot be claimed to be building on the latter. Using Winnicott’s work\, I will thus challenge the assumption that the child’s sense of unity and order are ultimately rooted in their identification with concrete fathers or father-figures. This reinterpretation is expected to enable  a more efficient application of Winnicott’s insights to the great variety of parenting and family structures and genders and people that we encounter in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy today. Unveiling hitherto hidden potentials in Winnicottian thinking\, I will further show how the sense of pattern gradually expands into an overall “frame” or “setting” of life which the individual must first “test” and “destroy” before internalizing it as their “personal pattern”. \n\nGiven that ‘going on being ‘ forms such a central part of Winnicott’s understanding of the role of both therapist and mother\, the paternal element or pattern of being (‘pattern’ and ‘paternal’ both originating from ‘pater’) offered itself as a rich source of continuing exploration. There was an immediate expression of interest in providing a forum to re-visit and explore his formulations.\nThis event offers an opportunity for those who have already heard his paper to continue the discussion\, and for those who have not\, an opportunity to join the conversation.\nIt will be convened by Joona in conjunction with Tessa Dalley (Chair\, Squiggle) and Mike Tait & Craig Fees (Trustees\, Squiggle).\nA recording and transcript of Joona’s original presentation and the respondents’ contributions are available to Squiggle members in the Members section of the website.\nThere is no charge for attendance but a donation can be made when booking tickets. \nTickets via Eventbrite.\n\nEnquiries to info@squiggle-foundation.org
