IAFP EVENING SEMINAR
Thursday 19th March - 7.00 - 8.30pm
When patients in a clinical setting meet narcissistic powerful male surgeons, and the damage that can be done
Dr Julian Stern, former Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Centre
I make use of the work of Gabbard and Weintrobe in describing powerful men who act out, and the self serving defence mechanisms employed, and describe how this may play out in interactions between surgeons and (mainly female) patients. Using 2 case examples to illustrate these dynamics, I raise questions about the state of mind of these surgeons, as well as the confusion engendered in the minds of their patients.
The theme of this year’s conference addresses global concerns around exclusion, structural violence, identity-based hostility and the increasing social, political and institutional pressures affecting both forensic systems and clinical work.
