Gillian Burrell has worked in private practice as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist for the past twenty-five years. She trained with the NSW Institute of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and became a full clinical member in 1994. In the decade before, Gillian worked for Relationships Australia as a marital and family therapist. As a young woman, she read the Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, and while her first love was film, once Gillian began to explore the world of psychoanalysis, she knew she’d found her calling.

Reviews for Memory, Trauma and the Spirited Life: Remembering and Identity

"‘An excellent overview of memory as it has been conceived of by multiple disciplines in the past and present added to by the author’s own scholarly and creative imaginings. In this sense the book is what it studies, a construction. It is a must read for those grappling with understanding this mystery.’ Gillian Straker, clinical professor of Psychology, University of Sydney; visiting research professor, University Witwatersrand ‘Gillian Burrell brings a unique lens to our understanding of Memory. Her perspective is informed by psychoanalysis, philosophy and literature, exploring the political and ethical dilemmas of contemporary society. Vivid vignettes from her own life and work as a psychotherapist provide a ""spirited response"", original and passionate, illuminating the centrality of Memory to understanding our relationship to the past, the present and our futures.’ Dr. Penelope Jools, clinical psychologist"
