Madness from the Outside In

25th January 2012, 17:15, The Williams Library, St. Chad's College, Professor Gail Hornstein

How can we picture disturbed mental states?  Is there some sign, some subtle indicator that can portray the madness in a person's mind?  This illustrated talk will compare a range of visual approaches to this question, both historical and contemporary, emphasizing differences between the external standpoint of psychiatrists and subjective depictions by sufferers of their own psychological lives.
