Fritz Thyssen Foundation www.fritz-thyssen-stiftung.de and Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster http://www.uni-muenster.de/en/ In recent years, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts and psychologists have shown a renewed interest in questions related to the interconnections between religion/cosmologies, self and mental health/illness while anthropologists and scholars of religion are turning to study the interface of psychiatry and religion. Scholars from diverse disciplines engaged in research, policy making or the provision of treatment and care will explore the concepts, practices and challenges evolving at the interface between religion and psychiatry in a globalized world. The circulation of psychiatric knowledge, the global spread of Christian sects (e.g. Pentecostalism), New Age spirituality and the de-territorialization of local religious systems (including possession & sorcery) share a particular concern with mental health, wellbeing and healing. What are the dynamics shaping continually changing relationships between religiosity, faith and worldview in relation to mental health/illness? How may we bridge the gaps between theoretical approaches and practical constraints (e.g. national health care systems), disciplinary biases and preconceptions when addressing the problem through multiple lenses (practitioners, patients/health and well-being seekers, policy makers) and from a comparative perspective? The conference aims at breaking fresh ground in regard to a better understanding of the muddled relationships between psychiatry (including psychoanalysis) and religion by examining the question of their dynamics at diverse institutional sites, religious and cultural contexts as well as from the points of view of suffering subjects. --------------------------------------------- Organizers: Helene Basu Nina Grube Arne Steinforth Student Assistant: Melanie Duch Date: Wed 22nd of February – Sat 25th of February Venues: 22.02.2012, 19:00: Evening Reception Hörsaal S1 Schlossplatz 2, 48149 Münster 23.02.2012 – 25.02.2012 Alexander von Humboldt Haus Hüfferstraße 61, 48149 Münster |
