London: Mind and Madness

Led by Professors Jens Brockmeier & Maria Medved

PY4090A Senior Seminar
PY4090B Senior Seminar
PY2044 Clinical Theories

What is madness? And how do we treat it? In our trip to London, we wander through different places (and times), each having a distinctive answer to the above questions. In our quest to understand different treatments of psychological and psychiatric distress our travels will include, among others, the Freud Museum, where Freud used psychoanalysis therapy as the royal road to the unconscious, theatres of purging and drilling practices, and the infamous “Bedlam insane asylum” representing the era of enforced care.
