In February 2016 Associate Professor Sally Swartz, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist who publishes regularly on psychoanalytic theory and psychotherapy, and the history of psychiatry in colonial settings, will be visiting the University of Otago with the support of the Centre for Research on Colonial Culture. Her 2015 book, from the University of Cape Town Press, is entitled Homeless Wanderers: Movement and mental illness in the Cape colony in the nineteenth century. In addition to attending the Making Women Visible Conference (15-17 February), Associate Professor Swartz will offer two talks, both open to the public.
On February 18 she will offer the following presentations:
1) A session on ‘The Archive and the Person: History and Psychotherapy’ reflecting how being a practitioner works alongside being an historian.
2) An open lecture entitled ‘Families, Emotion and Attachment: Insights from the past to the Present’ .
