Psychology Department Hosting Educational Event ‘Listening to Psychosis’

Cross-cultural research indicates that people who have psychotic experiences are more likely to recover based upon the country in which they live—more so in some countries rather than others. The United States is among the countries who have the worst outcomes for these individuals.

The Department of Psychology is hosting an event during which attendees will learn about new approaches to integrating psychotic experience into social life as well as the feedback experts are hearing from those who have these experiences.

Listening to Psychosis will be held tomorrow, March 15, at 5:30 p.m. in the Simon Silverman Phenomenology Center on the first floor of Gumberg Library.

Guests include Dr. Annie G. Rogers, professor of psychoanalysis and clinical college at Hampshire College and Dr. Tanya Marie Luhrmann, the Watkins University Professor at the Stanford University Department of Anthropology. In addition, Dr. Matthew Allen, an associate psychology professor and director of the graduate psychology program at Point Park University, will lead a discussion on implications for new models of care.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact feine@duq.edu or hookd@duq.edu.
