Psychoanalytic theory illuminates the polarised nature of the asylum debate and the powerful feelings for and against refugees. Historic, literary and clinical examples reveal migration as part of human nature and the unconscious forces revolving around the concept of exile. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/why-do-we-hate-why-do-we-help-asylum-seekers-and-ambivalence-in-contemporary Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
