Last chance to sign up for the in-person workshop I will be running on 25th July at the BPF. It is open to clinicians and trainees.

Go to the British Psychotherapy Foundation and register for the workshop: https://www.britishpsychotherapyfoundation.org.uk/events/694/clinical-work-with-twins-and-twin-therapy-with-vivienne-lewin/

I will be running a clinical workshop on working with twins at the BPF  –  we have decided to postpone this event until later in the year. This workshop will be a follow up to my presentation for the BPF in November 2025.

In the workshop we will look at the particularities of the twin relationship and how they affect twin development; and we will explore psychotherapeutic work with  a twin. The main focus of the workshop will be on Twin Therapy – working with twin pairs who have difficulties in their relationship.

The workshop will be open to clinicians with an interest in twin development and in working with twins.

I was interviewed by Andre Holzinger, who has directed a new documentary on the infamous Kray Twins, for Amazon Prime. It is now available to watch and offers really good insight into how they created their image and thrived with their many entertainment and criminal enterprises in London, often involving well known celebrities. The title is “The Kray Twins. London’s Gangsters”. Well worth a watch! It includes excellent photos and other coverage, and commentary from well-informed people.

I will be presenting online for the British Psychotherapy Foundation on the 6th November, followed by an in-person workshop at the BPF to look at ways of working with twins in 2026.  I hope this will open up new avenues for understanding twin relationships and working with both individual and pairs of twins.

I had a very congenial discussion with Batuhan Sac in Turkey about my work and the books and papers I have written. Batuhan Sac will be posting a recording of this interview, and transcribing and translating  it for publication in a psychoanalytic journal in Turkey.

Reminder: I will be presenting my latest work to the Child And Youth Psychotherapy Section of the Polish Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy on the 13th June 2025. This will be a Zoom conference and I hope it will be informative for many of my colleagues in Poland. We will explore development in twins and the creation of a personal identity within a twin relationship.

I will present a paper to the Child And Youth Psychotherapy of the Polish Society of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in June 2025.

And do watch out for the documentary on the Kray Twins, produced by Andre Holzinger of Woodcut Media, in April on Amazon Prime. I was interviewed for the programme to explore the dynamics of twin relationships, with reference to the Krays and generally.

I have been invited to present my latest work to Psychotherapy Sussex on 13th July, 2024.

I will be looking at twins in society, their development and status, and what happens when problems develop in the twin relationship. I have been working with pairs of twins for some time, and I will talk about the way I work with them and how I came to develop this method of addressing the deep intransigent issues in the twin relationships.

I will be leading a workshop for OPUS (Organisation for Promoting Organisation of Society) on the 7th October on Twins in Society: The Shaping of Identity and status.

It will provide an opportunity to understand more about twins, the dynamics of their relationships and their place in society, and will include a theoretical outline of twin relationships and their development, within the context of the society into which they are born; and examples of clinical work with twins.

There will be an opportunity for participants to share their own twin related experiences and ideas.

The Study Day at the Northern School of Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy (www.nscap.org.uk) in Leeds,  on March 25th 2022, will focus on developmental issues in twins. I will present my work to the participants on this course and we will look at observational studies of twins to further our understanding. It will be a fantastic opportunity for practitioners to learn more about the dynamics in twin development and relationships, and how this will affect their work.
