Please see the attached poster for our forthcoming conference from the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies:
Why the Mainstream Needs its Margins: The Function of the Marginalised in Psyche and Society
- Could a centre exist without its margins?
- What do we project onto the margins?

- What Happened to Deviance?
- Immigration: Fantasies and Realities
