Lincoln Spring Term Lecture 2012

Giovanna Di Ceglie

Orientation, Containment and the Development of Symbolic Thinking

Chair: Anton Obholzer

Giovanna R. Di Ceglie is a training analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society. She trained in Medicine and Psychiatry at the University of Perugia (Italy) and worked in the NHS both in adult and child psychiatry. She currently works in private psychoanalytic practice, teaches and supervises. She has a longstanding interest in the development of thinking and its disturbances. She has published papers on clinical work and in the area of symbolization. She lectures in this country and abroad.

In her paper Giovanna Di Ceglie will make a link between Bion's model of the container-contained and the concept of orientation exploring its role in the early stages of development as well as its usefulness in the psychoanalytic encounter. Orientation adds a new dimension to the process of containment.
