Call for Abstracts: Get Well Soon Series, Vol. 2Call for Abstracts: Get Well Soon Series, Vol. 2 Get Well Soon. Series about Psycho_Healthpolitics under Capitalism The series is motivated by a frustration with the place that a radical critique of the institutions and disciplines of Psychiatry and Psychology currently occupies within emancipatory social criticism. During the 1960s and 1970s, a critical assessment of these institutions and their power/knowledge was a constituent element of leftist societal analysis. Today, in contrast, most of the left has little to offer in reply to a “professional” authority in moments of personal crisis or madness. In our view, it is necessary to come to grips with the profound changes in the mental health system over the last decades, and to develop a critique that matches the current conditions. We thus aim to create a space for radical commentary on the social function of psychiatry and psychology and so contribute to filling some of the lacunae that the antipsychiatric movement currently faces. We see this space in explicit opposition to the superficial critique of the pharmaceutical industry’s “ruthlessness” presented in mainstream discourse. Therefore, a particular focus of this series will be the intersections of psychiatric/psychological concepts with oppressive racist, sexist, and economic power The Second Volume The first book ‘Gegendiagnose’ put the focus on an update of anti-psychiatric theories. Topic Suggestions The raised questions are in no way finished and should only be seen as suggestions. Submission of abstracts You can also use this email address to contact us anytime you have any questions or The release is scheduled for Autumn 2018. The book will be published in German.

The Agenda for the Day 9:15 am – Opening remarks: by Linda Page, President of ADLER and by Julie Brown, Dean of Psychotherapy "Alt" Causes of Anxiety"Alt" Causes of Anxiety – Anxiety is a natural part of life but for some, that creeping or explosive worrying, can make the day-to-day a challenge. The medical fraternity sees it as an individual psychological problem best treated with medication or changing thought patterns. Meanwhile, philosophers such as Martin Heidegger have argued it is a sign of caring for something. Others, however, blame social structures: job precarity, economic structures, a bad relationship, social media, the unruly state of world politics, the need to be seen as "successful". In this unique class, hear a philosopher, a sociologist and a social work lecturer explore anxiety beyond the realm of the medical. What role does the system play in ‘getting us down'? What's with all the ‘thinking positively’? Can worrying maybe be a good thing sometimes? What does Sigmund Freud have to teach us about the condition?
