AWW23: The Authority of Tenderness - Paul Williams
Chair: J.M. Coetzee
British psychoanalyst Dr Paul Williams has written extensively about the human mind, including a trilogy drawing on aspects of the author’s life over three stages – childhood, adolescence and adulthood. His latest book, The Authority of Tenderness: Dignity and the True Self in Psychoanalysis, is the final in the trilogy. In a conversation with Nobel Prize-winning author J.M. Coetzee, Williams reflects on the adult’s task of recollecting, rewriting and reworking psychosis and trauma.
