Difficult conversations around Suicide with consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy Dr Jo Stubley
No full textTalking about suicide is never easy, yet it's essential. In this difficult episode both Dr Stubley and I bring personal experiences to the conversation in the hope that it might facilitate your own conversations.
Dr Jo Stubley is a consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy and leads the adult section of the trauma service at the NHS Tavistock Centre. Jo is a member of the British Psychoanalytic Society. Regular listeners will recognise that Jo is a returning conversationalist - this is our third episode together. The first one, on trauma in series one, would make a good listening companion piece to this one
Design as enabler of anticipatory systems: The MakeinProgress case study
No full textIn this paper, we investigated the relationship between anticipation and design. Through a case study, we analysed the role Design plays among the anticipation processes in regards to the development of a territory. The functional structure of anticipation is based on a three-part scheme: a normal part, a model of the normal part, a steering device able to steer the normal part according to the outcomes of the model. The case study represented the model whereby the possible evolution of the normal part is experienced. The aim was to test whether design could enable anticipatory systems by operating a steering device and by supporting its action through processes of prefiguration, vision and realization. The case study ‘MakeinProgress’ (MiP) was born from an opportunity in the territory — the architectural recovery of a former “Filanda”, funded by local authorities with public financing. The MiP project started as an incubator and then converted with the intervention of design. To convert MiP we applied an action-research approach. In the case of MiP, the local community could be seen as an autopoietic system, whereas the tools, belonging to the Service Design and to the Design for Social Innovation, acted as a steering device. The paper presents the process whereby people were enabled to define new job opportunities out of their passions, to exploit the available space to the best of its potential, linking the territory to the national and international circuits. MiP is a concrete demonstration of the possible role of Design among anticipation mechanisms, thanks to the application of Service Design tools. MiP also acts as a support for the creation of models to be used to support the public system and governments and to support the community
Design as enabler of anticipatory systems: the MakeinProgress case study.

The functional structure of anticipation is based on a three parts scheme (a normal part; a model of the normal part; a steering device able to steer the normal part according to the outcomes of the model) and the case study will represent the model whereby the possible evolution of the “normal” part is experienced.
The aim is to test whether design can enable anticipatory systems by operating as steering device and by supporting its action through processes of prefiguration (pre-see), vision (seeing) and realization (to-do).
The case study MakeinProgress (MiP) was born from a opportunity in the territory: the architectural recovery of a former “Filanda”, funded by local authorities with public financing. MiP started as an incubator and then converted by the intervention of design. To convert MIP we applied a action-research approach.
In the case of MiP, the local community could be seen as an autopoietic system whereas the tools, belonging to the Service Design and to the Design of Social Innovation, act as steering devices. The paper present the process whereby people were enabled to define new job opportunities out of their passions, to exploit the available space at the best of its potential, making the territory linked to the national and international circuit working on these operations (e.g. Ruhr or Manchestern).
MiP is a concrete demonstration of the possible role of design among anticipation mechanisms, thanks to the application of tools belonging to Service Design. MiP also acts as support for the creation of models to be used to support the public system and governments and to support the community
How trauma can affect everyday life with consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy Jo Stubley
No full textI used to think of trauma in terms of war and soldiers but actually trauma can affect anyone and impact every day life. Its effects can be felt in the brain and the body.
In this episode I talk to Dr Jo Stubley, who leads the adult section of the Trauma Service at the NHS's Tavistock Centre. Find out what trauma and PTSD is and what might make some people more susceptible to it. We also talk about how trauma memories are stored in different way to normal memories and perhaps most important of all, how to recognise trauma and begin to heal
What is intimacy? With psychologist and psychoanalyst Stephen Blumenthal
No full textIt’s only in the last few years that I’ve really looked into intimacy and what it actually, practically, means. A lot of people use it as a by-word for sex but here’s where it gets interesting because intimacy and sex aren’t the same thing. In fact a lot of people use sex to avoid intimacy.
Stephen Blumenthal and I discuss what is and isn’t intimacy, how to know if you’ve got it and maybe, how to find it if it’s so far eluded you. Stephen is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst , accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council. He has specialist expertise in treating people who have problems with relationships and intimacy, difficulty expressing emotions, sex addiction and compulsive use of pornography

No full textEmpowering the territory through service design and social innovation: the MakeinProgress case study.
No full textThe society in which we live today is in the process of a paradigm shift (Murray 2009). The crisis of the capitalist model is creating the need for certain processes of social innovation processes (Murray et al., 2010; Manzini, 2015).
This paper presents an example of how social innovation and service design (Meroni, Sangiorgi, 2012; Stickdorn, Schneider, 2012) can promote the territory, thanks to the practice of Making. To do so, we tested a “what-if” situation trying in answer to the following research questions: a) what kind of Maker space could work in this territory? b) Who are the potential users? c) Could Making increase the appeal of the territory for social innovation? To answer our questions we used the method of action research (Stringer 2014; Stoecker, 2012). We created a demo service in order to experiment with different kind of activities and areas of application. The project MakeinProgress (MiP) was then initiated. MiP represented a case study of the way in which Making could facilitate the development of the territory (Arquilla et al., 2014) with the aid of service design.
The MiP project was made to preview the use and the social function of an in progress restore and converting “Filanda” (a mill for the processing of textiles) thanks to public financing. The old mill was firstly conceived of as a business incubator which later adapted to the needs of the territory.
The project occurred within a territory that was unfamiliar with the dynamics of Making and social innovation. Service design was widely and practically used (i.e. call for ideas, workshops, space hacking and offer of different services) hence demonstrating what it is possible to achieve when design positions itself as the intermediary between institutions and local communities.
The action research methodology allowed for: awareness of the project in the territory to emerge, for a group of local citizens that could take on the management of the space to be identified and trained and for the space to be moulded according to the needs of the territory.
Thanks to service design, the former mill became a place that allowed the community to promote new job opportunities and share ideas. The space allowed for the creation of new businesses. MiP also enabled new means of collaboration between the creative community and pre-existing local companies, allowing for the latter to benefit from the community thanks to the exposure to new technologies and contamination of ideas
Sustaining and enabling territorial resilience through making actions. The Make in Progress case study.
No full textThe recent evolution of production models within urban context shows a possible scenario characterized by new interactions between design-driven innovation, making, creativity and social innovation. The paper analyses this scenario combined with the idea of Territorial Capital as a model to study a specific territory (EU Leader Project; 1999)1 by looking at a case study : Make in Progress, which explores new models of interaction between creative industries, makers, DIY people, artisan and SMEs within urban area and industrial district. The goal of this paper is to analyze how the phenomenon of Open Creative Lab (Ibert, 2015)2 can contribute to the resilience of the territories and how unexpected localized creative communities could emerge. To answer this question the paper focuses on the relationship and the potential of social innovation and service design (Meroni-Sangiorgi,20113; Stickdorn-Schneider,20124) in the territorial enhancement processes, through the making. In this case, the making gets the role of enabler in development of the territorial capital (Arquilla-Bianchini-Maffei-Carelli,20145), becoming from a purpose, as it often happens in most of the process of creation of making places such as fablab and makerspaces (Walter,20146; Gershenfeld,20077), to a real opportunity to be used to make the most interesting characteristics of a territory emerge: people and their capabilities. In detail, the case study of MakeinProgress (MiP) will be analyzed as an applied case of this theory. MIP is born from a real opportunity from the territory: the architectural recovery of the space of a former Filanda, totally funded by local and supralocal authorities by a process of public financing, in the beginning started as incubator and later converted by the intervention of design. We analyzed the territory, defined possible scenario, verified the applicability of this scenario by isolating potential of the area, modified and adapted scenario to the real potential of territory coming to set up an experimental model of action (MiP as demo service). Thanks to this activities was demonstrate how a laboratory in the suburbs, a suburb that did not imagine a possible development in creativity, acts as empowering latent elements showing unexpected capabilities and resilience
A question of trust with psychoanalyst Dr Stephen Blumenthal
No full textThis is our first listener requested episode. "Joanne" (not her real name) asked us if we could do an episode on trust, after her husband had an affair. Although Joanne asked some specific questions ("how do I get the trust back/is it good to talk about it"), Dr Blumenthal and I discuss this but also what trust is at its core, beyond romantic relationships, what it means to trust, how do we trust, is it necessary to trust someone to love them, and how to get trust back when it's been lost.
Dr Blumenthal spoke so eloquently in series 2, on Intimacy, and that is a great companion piece to this one
Understanding the impact of Child Sexual Abuse with consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy Dr Jo Stubley
No full textThis is not an easy subject, but a necessary one, especially when you hear the statistics on child sexual abuse. Many children don't understand what's happening to them and often can't talk about it until they are way into adult hood and what they perceive to be a 'safe place'. The impact, as we see in this episode, can be life long and pernicious.
I talk to consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy Dr Jo Stubley who leads the adult section of the trauma service at the NHS Tavistock Centre. Jo is a member of the British Psychoanalytic Society and also took part in our trauma episode in series one (do listen to this if you haven't already). We talk about what grooming is, how to look out for it (an abuser grooms not just their victim but often the whole family), how to look out for signs that your child may be experiencing abuse and if you're a survivor of non recent child sexual abuse we hope you can find something in this episode to make you feel less alone
