CFAR Annual Conference


WHY CAN’T WE SLEEP?
Psychoanalysis and Insomnia

  Saturday 8 July 2017

  10:00am – 5:15pm (Registration from 9:30am)

  Tuke Hall, Regents College Conference Centre, Inner Circle, Regent’s Park, London NW1 4NS

Participant include:

Chloe Aridjis, Vincent Dachy, Marie Darrieussecq, Darian Leader and Anne Worthington

 

Complaints about the difficulty in sleeping have been skyrocketing in the last decade, with insomnia becoming the norm rather than the exception. Changes in the tempo and pressure of modern life no doubt play their part here, but what of the psychical sources of lack of sleep?What is it that allows us to sleep and what, then, can disrupt this? What role do dreams play as ‘guardians of sleep’ and what is it that wakes us up?

Entrance fee: £60     Concessions: £40
