Launch events
 ISPS Australia will be involved in a series of events across the country in September 2011 , many of which are featuring Dr Brian Martindale , Chairman of the ISPS International organising committee.
Brian is an English psychiatrist and psychotherapist for individuals and families. He is a prominent European psychoanalytic psychiatrist and currently heads an Early Intervention for Psychosis Team in the north of England. This recent publication of his is freely available:

Martindale, B. V. (2009). "The Rehabilitation of Psychoanalysis and the Family in Psychosis: Recovering From Blaming." Psychiatria Danubina 21(Sup 1): 51-60.


Abstract

Psychoanalysis and its derivatives are clinical and research endeavours attempting to do just what the word implies – make a psychological analysis of a particular problem whether it be that of an individual, a group, a family or other context. There is currently a revival of interest in the psychology of psychosis and in the talking therapies in psychosis including the involvement of relevant family members in the overall treatment. It seems appropriate therefore to consider the ‘parent’ of the talking cures - psychoanalysis - and its relationship and relevance to work with families where there is a member with a psychotic vulnerability.
