    Rethinking Disenchantment and the Immanent Frame; Presented by Camilia Kong

    Why is it so tempting to understand spirituality / religion as counter to our conception of mental health, both in terms of its causality and its therapeutic restoration? Camilia Kong seeks to provide a philosophical diagnosis of the problem through Taylor’s discussion of the ‘immanent frame’ in Western modernity, and in so doing, provide the conceptual space for enriching understanding of divergent explanatory frameworks of mental disorder and cognitive disability in other sociocultural...

    Beyond Psychiatry: Rethinking Madness Outside Medicine; Presented by Justin Garson

    Since the 1970s, psychiatry has been in the grip of a paradigm I call ‘madness-as-dysfunction’. In this view, mental disorders happen when something inside the person isn’t working as it should, or is ‘broken.’ In his previous work, Justin Garson has identified an alternate paradigm, which he calls ‘madness-as-strategy,’ which sees mental illness in terms of purpose, adaptation and function.

    Mad Knowledge and Relations; Presented by Jasna Russo and Erick Fabris

    Is mad life possible? Constrained by everyday mentalism, and controlled by various forms of psychiatrization of our biographies, we ask – can we live the lives we dream rather than dreaming that we live? Jasna Russo looks at the processes of knowledge making on what is considered madness and our ability to address each other in the second person, as you and me. Erick Fabris revisits a life of activism, from mutual aid to identity politics, and asks if Mad culture is possible in our time....

    Ethnic Inequalities in Experience of Mental Distress; Presented by Kam Bhui

    Over six decades of research confirm there are ethnic inequalities in the experiences and outcomes of severe mental illness. The reasons for these differences have been debated, some arguing they meet treatment needs, others say they are manifestations of structural racism. Kim Bhui shares his views on conceptual confusions, causes, and remedies by drawing on recent Lived Experience Data on compulsory treatment, other research, and campaigns over three decades.Part of the London Le...

    The Person in Psychiatry; Presented by Sanneke de Haan

    Many people suffer from psychiatric disorders and mental distress. But how are we to understand these problems, and how are we to treat them?

    How Can we Make Progress in Mental Healthcare Research?; Presented by Neil Armstrong and Nicola Byrom

    At present, psychiatry and psychology research in mental healthcare is focused on interventions. In contrast, social science and humanities research pursues its own, sometimes rather theoretically-driven agenda. In this lecture, Dr Armstrong and Dr Byrom, bring together these disparate fields of research with the aim of promoting more productive interdisciplinary interaction.
