Female Sexuality

An in-person event

10am – 1.3pm, Saturday 7 March 2026

This is an exciting opportunity to hear our distinguished guest Rosine Jozef Perelberg present her thinking and clinical work in relation to female sexuality. This is an area of analytic work for which she is internationally known. 

This half day event will have two parts.

Dr Perelberg will present a paper entitled Passion and melancholia, red and black: The vicissitudes of the sexual in an analytic process. This will be followed by a group discussion.

She will then conduct a live supervision of clinical work with a woman patient in psychoanalysis.

The event will be chaired by Marion Lindsay, Psychoanalyst. She is a member of the BPAS and the BPF.
