PRESENTATION

This event will feature a screening of two rare films: Frances Tustin herself presenting her papers “The Dread of Dissolution” and “Further Thoughts on Autistic Shapes in Adult Pathology.”

 

These two extraordinary presentations were videotaped in Mrs. Tustin’s home in Amersham, England. She generously wrote these two contributions especially for PCC’s very first conference “Transformations,” which was held at Cal Arts in 1985. However, due to illness, she was unable to make the long journey to Los Angeles for the conference as planned. Thanks to PCC/Trust Member Dr. Jeanette Gadt, the videotaping of Mrs. Tustin’s presentations was arranged and these films were screened at the conference.

 

Mrs. Tustin entrusted these films to Dr. Judith Mitrani just before her death in 1994 and they have been screened for small group seminars in many cities for the benefit of the Trust. However, these films have not been viewed by a larger audience here in Los Angeles since 1985. The films are approximately 45 minutes each in length and will be followed by comments and discussion with the audience by a panel of FTM Trust members: Dr. Yvonne Hansen, Mr. Jeff Eaton (from Seattle), and Drs. Jim & Shirley Gooch.
