Talk: 'Outside/In: architecture, psychoanalysis and spaces in-between' at the Freud Museum To explore relationships between psychoanalytic theory and practice, art and architecture. How do the spaces we inhabit make us feel? Do the spatial qualities of art and architecture influence the ways in which we live? What kinds of spaces do psychoanalysts and therapists encounter when working with the inner life of the psyche? How do our dreams and emotions influence our creative impulses and desire to design.

These questions and others were discussed by a distinguished diverse panel: Steve Pile, Faye Carey, Sharon Kivland and Lorens Holm, chaired by Jane Rendell.

This talk took place on the 20th of June 2006.

See the Outside/In event details page for more information.

Duration: 1 hour 10 mins
