Book ticketsOrganised by:
Freud Museum
Description
To mark the launch of Being Ill: On Sickness, Care, and Abandonment (published by Reaktion Books in October 2024), the Freud Museum is delighted to host a conversation between authors Neil Vickers and Derek Bolton. The discussion will be chaired by David Bell.
This event will explore the profound impact of major illness on personal identity and relationships, offering an original perspective that draws on neuroscience, psychology, and psychoanalysis.
Vickers and Bolton will discuss how a sense of connectedness and group belonging can improve care and strengthen societal resilience in the face of illness. This discussion promises to be a significant contribution to the medical humanities and will appeal to anyone interested in the psychological and social dimensions of illness.
