We are pleased to announce an exciting series of talks planned from February to June 2012, on diverse subjects related to the theme of Better Lives, subjects will include 'ageing and self esteem', 'is the fashion industry contributing to the low self-esteem of the nation as well as to mental health problems' and 'self-esteem and the modern trend towards surgical /cosmetic procedures'. These talks are organised in collaboration with Dr Paul Matts of Procter & Gamble visiting Professor at London College of Fashion.
Lecture 1: Ageing and Self-Esteem: Healthy Activity or Frivolous Vanity?
Nearly 30% of the adult population are over the age of 60 and have more disposable income than any other age group in the UK. People over the age of 60 are post-reproductive and their motivation to maintain their appearance is different from the young.
Dr Julian Mason, Geriatric Psychiatrist

Lecture 2: Dress to Impress!
Lately the fashion industry has been criticised repeatedly for having a negative impact on people's lives. From Size Zero models on the catwalk to air-brushing in magazines, critics have accused the fashion industry of contributing to the low self-esteem of the nation as well as to mental health problems such as depression or anxiety.
Lucy Beresford, Psychotherapist (The Priory and Private Practice) and Broadcaster
