2017: Psychoanalysis in the Technoculture Era: Challenges of the Black Mirror
Interview by Phillip Adams on Late Night Live with Dr Heather Wood, Psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with the Portman Clinic in London.
The use of internet pornography is becoming one of the most common reasons people seek professional help. Existing studies suggest that 3 – 6 % of all internet users are addicted to the internet and roughly 1% of all internet users are addicted to internet sex. The percentages are small but the potential numbers huge.
So at what point does its use become a problem? And by the same token, is it possible that the ubiquity of images of child pornography is creating a taste for paedophilia, where formerly they may not have been tempted?

2014: A Stranger in my Own Body: Dr Domenico De Ceglie
Life Matters with Hilary Harper/ Angela Owens
Imagine growing up and being told you’re a boy. or a girl, but feeling intensely that something feels strange about that label. This can be an experience for even very young children.For some that becomes an unshakeable feeling of being a stranger in one’s own body, and it might take you decades to muster up the courage to explore what that disconnect is about… and that’s when some people start to identify as transgender. But what if someone empathised with and validated those feelings of gender dysphoria very early on in your life… in your childhood or teens…
That’s the work of the groundbreaking, and controversial Gender Identity Development Unit at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust based in North London.We meet its founder Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Domenico De Ceglie who’s visited Australia for the Freud Conference in 2014.
