Thinking, Feeling, Being: Critical Perspectives and Creative Engagement in Psychosocial Healthis the theme of the second Health4Life conference at Dublin City University (DCU) on Monday-Wednesday, September 10th-12th.
The title of the conference aims to reflect the idea that the experience of illness and health is bound up with our reasoning, emotional and social selves.
It also implies that effective healthcare practise involves rational thinking, emotional engagement and awareness of people's individual, social and cultural contexts.
Themes to be explored include recovery and rehabilitation, risk and power, advances in psychiatric care and treatment and working with and facilitating expressions of the self.
