Psychology/Health: Uncovering the Mind – Psychoanalysis in Clinical Settings with Jasmine Snowden from University of Southampton
January 27 @ 14:10 - 14:55
Beginning by examining the work of Freud and Jung, this engaging and interactive session explores the fascinating world of psychoanalysis. We examine how the mind works, the role of unconscious thoughts, and how these ideas are applied to help people overcome mental health challenges.
Discussing case studies ranging from depression to psychosis, we consider how mental health professionals use psychoanalytic concepts originating from the work of Freud and Jung to understand human behaviour, emotions, and relationships in real-life clinical settings.
This exciting event is designed to support Psychology and Health students in their current studies by bringing to life curriculum topics including psychoanalysis and psychopathology. Seeing how mental health professionals apply theory in challenging yet highly rewarding environments, we hope the session may also serve to pique students’ interest in mental health nursing, particularly if they haven’t had the opportunity to explore this avenue previously.
The session will be led by Jasmine Snowden who is Senior Teaching Fellow in Mental Health Nursing at the University of Southampton and a highly experienced nurse in CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) and eating disorders.
Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. There is no charge to take part.
As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event, where available.
