Darian Leader on Psychosis introduced by Ajay Khandelwal

Lambeth and Southwark Mind's 2016 annual lecture. Darian Leader, a leading thinker and psychoanalyst, talks about the importance of thinking about psychosis and our responses to it. We can see the psychotic individual as attempting forms of self-cure, and the role of the analyst maybe to act as "secretary", to help this process. This modest role is in fact crucial in holding the patient together. This is one of many ideas formulated in this wide ranging lecture.
