Dr Daniella Angueli appointed to Honorary Research Fellowship
New research appointment in the Department of Psychosocial Studies
Dr Daniella Angueli has been appointed Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Psychosocial Studies.
Dr Angueli is a member of the Laboratory of Psychopathology of the Université Rennes 2, France. She has specialised in psychoanalysis (history, practise, global schools of thought) and psychoanalytic post-structuralism, as well as working as a clinical psychologist in private practice for the last 16 years.
Her research has covered a wide range of subject, such as the intersection of psychoanalysis and justice, adolescent delinquency, familial crimes, psychotic states, children's autism, paranoia, issues of authority in mental health, states of alienation, impassioned relationships, forms of narcissism, incestuous relations and contemporary French philosophy in relation to psychoanalysis.
At Birkbeck, her research will focus on the pathological forms of human instrumentalisation, unconscious states of submission to an authority, especially amongst young people. This research pertains to human “instrumentalisation”, to processes of “abolition” of thought, that is, psychotic states with no apparent symptoms, which often result in extreme social phenomena.
