A historical analysis of our understanding of the mind: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/changing-minds-and-mental-health What happens when people change their minds? In this lecture, I will offer a historical perspective on changing minds, starting with a discussion of the role of medicine in changing minds. I will discuss the move from changing behaviour to changing thinking, and changing stories; and how modern mental health services use such ideas. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/changing-minds-and-mental-health Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
