Professor Julian Leff: The Unbalanced Mind
Can biology explain all disturbances of mind and behaviour? What about the psychological, social and cultural factors underlying mental illness? The author of
The Unbalanced Mind will raise questions including: what is the difference between sadness and depression. Are psychiatric conditions culturally specific? Is there a link between schizophrenia and deprivation? Julian is a researcher in social psychiatry at London's Institute of Psychiatry with a particular interest in the relationships between family members and people with psychiatric illness.
