Mental health since 1945: international and local perspectives
Friday, 23rd February 2007
Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine,
Second Floor, Simon Building,
University of Manchester
This one-day workshop aims to bring together medical historians and
mental health practitioners who have an interest in the recent history
of psychiatry and the mental health services. We particularly welcome
post-graduate students working in the field.
The workshop, which will include both British and North American
perspectives, will focus on two main themes
1. Adult mental health services, with a particular emphasis on the
experimental and non-traditional.
2. Changing concepts of and responses to childhood emotional and
behavioural disorders.
The workshop is free to students. The cost for others, inclusive of
buffet lunch, is £20
