A thought-provoking day of papers and discussion on the topic of truth and kindness, which is a central preoccupation in Kleinian thinking and indeed for all psychoanalytic clinicians.

The conference will be chaired by Gigliola Fornari Spoto, Chair of the Trust.

Speakers include Penelope Garvey, Margaret Rustin, Kathryn Pugh and Wilhelm Skogstad.

For online participants there will be a live-stream of the sessions. The presentations will be recorded and made available to stream for 1 month after the conference.
