        History

        Patrick Casement was born on 27th August 1935 in Woldingham, Surrey.

        He was educated at Winchester, before going to Trinity College, Cambridge to study anthropology and theology. He graduated in 1959 and began to train as a probabtion officer. He qualified in 1963 and subsequently worked for Middlesex Probabtion Service.

        Between 1966 and 1973, he worked as a family social worker in London's East End. He subsequently trained as a psychotherapist and then as a psychoanalyst. He became a full member of the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1980.

        Patrick Casement is the author of four professional books, the first two of which - On Learning from the Patient (1985) and Further Learning from the Patient (1991). His third book, Learning from our Mistakes (2002) received a Gradiva award in the US for its contribution to Psychoanalysis. His last prefessional book, written after he retired, is Learning from Life (2006), which is partly autobiographical.

        In 2014, Patrick Casement survived an aggressive cancer and published a lighthearted autobiography: "Growing up? A journey with laughter" (Karnac, 2015).
