Whatever you think about the pressures being placed on our current democracies, BRLSI’s Democracy Under Threat series invites you to pause and take stock as we collectively take the long view across the wealth of history and political thinking which underpins our long held democratic systems and institutions, both in the Uk and abroad. Our great new series takes us from the laying down of democratic principle in ancient Athens to the ongoing pressures on our contemporary democracies.

Why is Freud making a comeback? Introducing ‘The Unsettled Mind: Psychoanalysis in an age of anxiety.’

BRLSI are delighted to be launching a brand-new talks series The Unsettled Mind: Psychoanalysis in an age of anxiety. The series will invite leading clinicians and thinkers at the forefront of the field to discuss subjects such as grief, sexuality and the nature of truth itself. Whether you are new to psychoanalysis or familiar with its nature, the series invites you to think differently about the life of the mind and what it means to speak, to suffer and to change.
