Description
With treatment of gender confused children once again in the news, we are delighted that Dr David Bell has agreed to join us in conversations.
Dr Bell is a former President of the British Psychoanalytical Society, and is well known internationally as a speaker and teacher on psychoanalytic theory and technique, and on the relationship between psychoanalysis and literature, philosophy and politics.
He has recently retired from his position as a National Health Service (NHS) Consultant psychiatrist, in the Adult Department at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, where he was Director of Postgraduate Training for many years. David also led a specialist service (the Fitzjohns Unit) for the treatment of patients with enduring and complex problems. He served as a staff governor at the Tavistock Trust and wrote an internal report in 2018, raising the concerns brought to him by colleagues about the way the Gender Identity Development Service was treating patients and faced disciplinary action.
