Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926) is probably the single most significant figure in the history of psychiatry and, certainly, one of a handful of most impactful psychiatrists to have shaped the profession. 1926 marks 100 years since his death and this event will be an opportunity to recall his contribution and focus on significant changes since. The last century has been an incredibly fertile time for research in psychiatry but also an era during which some of its most fundamental assumptions have been challenged by its own findings in biomedical and clinical research, those of affine disciplines in social science and the humanities and the service users movement.
This two-day event will review the ambitions, images and practices of psychiatry, as they have evolved during the period under review and seek pointers for continuity and transformation in the future. It will be privileged by an exceptionally diverse group of speakers, all outstanding in their field, whether as psychiatrists, other clinicians, academics in the humanities and social sciences or service users.
By attending the meeting, you will:
Show your potential as an outstanding psychiatrist for the future by submitting for the Students and Trainees Award which will also be presented and awarded at the conference. Please click here to submit your abstract by the deadline on Thursday 9 January 2025.
We would like to thank The Lambert Endowment Fund for their kind generosity and support of this meeting.
