Thanks for the opportunity to share with you my views on Psychoanalysis, contextualised for our current context.

This was only possible because it was brought to you by the student body of the Murdoch Psychology Society Singapore (MPSS). Proud to be Murdoch Alumnus.

If you've attended the seminar and something stoked your interest, then our goal's been achieved for the evening. Thanks to all participants for free associating, and MPSS organisers, especially since you're on a shoestring budget.

Check out the articles and recommended reading given to you.

You can reach us through email or via social media.
