From IAI TV:
“Psychiatry has spent the last 100 years asking what’s wrong with people, but might it be more informative to ask what’s happened to them? Clinical psychologist Richard Bentall discusses the role of trauma in the emergence of mental health conditions like schizophrenia and adult psychosis, and calls for a refocusing on prevention, instead of treatment. In this new series of in-depth interviews, the IAI asks leading thinkers across philosophy, science, politics and the arts about the new ideas that they think are most significant, and about what the future has in store. More from this series Psychologist Lucy Johnstone discusses the issues with the diagnostic model for mental health. Zoologist Zanna Clay explains how empathy is not an exclusively human trait, and what we might learn from other species.”
