from ICMDA Recordings · host ICMDA
Recorded on 19 May 2022 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a discussion with Prof Glynn Harrison. Western culture appears to be obsessed with issues of identity. In this session we briefly review the rise of modern selfism - its philosophical roots and the role played by psychology and psychiatry in cementing its cultural power. We investigate possible impacts in terms of mental health and well-being. And, finally, we ask how the Christian faith engages with the challenges it poses. Glynn Harrison MD FRCPsych is Emeritus Professor of Mental Health, University of Bristol and a retired clinical psychiatrist. He specialised in psychiatric epidemiology and early interventions for psychosis. He now lectures widely on issues at the interface of faith, mental health and culture.
