What happens when people change their minds? In this lecture, I will offer a historical perspective on changing minds, starting with a discussion of the role of medicine in changing minds. I will discuss the move from changing behaviour to changing thinking, and changing stories; and how modern mental health services use such ideas.

This is a free public lecture by Gwen Adshead, Visiting Gresham Professor of Psychiatry.

There is no need to book in advance for this lecture. It runs on a first come first served basis.
