Next Meeting

So the next meeting of the Sydney Hedge School is next week, 6pm on Wednesday 9th of April, upstairs in The Friend in Hand pub on Cowper Street Glebe. 

We are going to be discussing the use of psychiatric diagnosis. This is a massive area and we won't be properly able to do it justice. However, we will try and start thinking about it. To do that we will use two texts, a short 1 page article by Peter Kinderman that addresses the use of language such as 'disorder', and the second, a 12 page book chapter by Lucy Johnstone, that nicely critiques the arguments and interests that support the use of psychiatric diagnosis. In particular, Lucy Johnstone's chapter is rich with ideas while also being clear and readable enough to provoke thought and discussion. So if you haven't already and would like to come along to the next meeting, drop me an email on aidanjakelly[at]gmail.com, and I'll send out the articles to you.

Look forward to seeing you all next week!
