Information: The Albany Trust was founded in 1958. Led by Antony Grey, and supported by many leading intellectuals, religious figures, writers and other public figures of the time, Albany supported the work of the Homosexual Law Reform Society in changing the law, and implementing Wolfenden.
The Albany's remit, however, was for a wider public health campaign to change the social climate generally to enable healthier psychosexual development, through public education, research and its most durable core work, personal counselling and psychotherapy.
This one day conference brings together experts, practitioners, researchers and historians to revisit Albany's pioneering work and aims, and to ask whether, in the 21st Century, they are still relevant, urgent and, if so, how they are practically achievable.
The day also includes a panel discussion with leading practitioners and the Department of Health on today's clinical challenges and an evening reception, which all delegates are invited to.
Keynote speakers include:
- Antony Grey Former Secretary Homosexual Law Reform Society and Former Director Albany Director
- Professor Mike King Professor of Primary Care Psychiatry Royal Free and University Medical School, London
- Dr Joanna Ryan Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis
- Ben Summerskill Chief Executive Stonewall
