About the course
This 5-day course introduces and explores common mental disorders.
This 5-day course introduces and explores common mental disorders.
From 6 to 10 August 2012 at Exeter College
Dr Neel Burton proposes to open up the debate on mental disorders, to get people interested and talking, and to get them thinking. For example, what is schizophrenia? Why is it so common? Why does it affect human beings and not animals? What might this tell us about our mind and body, language and creativity, music and religion? What are the boundaries between mental disorder and 'normality'? Is there a relationship between mental disorder and genius? These are some of the difficult but important questions that this course confronts, with the overarching aim of exploring what mental disorders can teach us about human nature and the human condition.
