One of the far-reaching objectives of the Freud Museum is to heighten public awareness of the applications and ramifications of Sigmund Freud's work, and to do this in as imaginative a way as possible. As Edward Glover put it in 1939: "...his discoveries were not, as is so often the case, divorced from everyday affairs. They were concerned with the mind of Everyman, with his happiness and more important, his miseries".
Over the last 10 years the Public Programme of the Freud Museum has organised a number of innovative public conferences. Short reviews of these events are linked to the titles below.
