Thinking Space was set up to develop the capacity of staff and
trainees at the Tavistock Clinic to think about racism and other
forms of hatred toward difference in ourselves and others. Drawing
on Bion s (1962) distinction between knowing and knowing about, the
latter of which can be a defense against knowing a subject in a
deeper and emotionally real way, Thinking Space sought to promote
curiosity, exploration and learning about difference, by paying as
much attention as to how we learn (process) as to what we learn
(content).This book is a celebration of ten years of Thinking Space
at the Tavistock Clinic and a way of sharing the thinking,
experience and learning gained over these years. Thinking Space
functions, among other things, as a test-bed for ideas and many of
the papers included here began as presentations, and were
encouraged and developed by the experience. These papers do not
seek to provide a coherent theory or set of views. On the contrary
they are very diverse and decidedly so, as finding, expressing and
developing one s own personal idiom involves emotional truthfulness
and is an important part of getting to know oneself: both of which
are important prerequisites to getting to know the other."
