Dr Zoe Boden-Stuart
Small Group Project 2015-16
Relatedness and Relationships in Mental Health
With Michael Larkin
This research project will bring together scholars from a range of disciplinary perspectives (psychology, philosophy, psychiatry, sociology) to reclaim and foreground relatedness as a central concern for mental health and wellbeing. Through collaborative workshops, we will explore three apparent paradoxes. We plan to also invite further scholars from a range of disciplines to join us for specific workshops. We will culminate our work with a public event, attended by service-users, clinicians and policy makers, to examine the clinical and personal implications of our findings.
