This first seminar on Critical Psychology aims to address some unexamined notions about the concept of "personality", including the individualistic approach that tends to locate symptoms in the individual, rather than in the environment.

Together with Maria Laguna, we will take a look, within a critical lens, at some of the factors that inform whether a personality is "normal" or "disordered", according to mainstream Psychology, and identify alternative approaches that honour our subjectivity as social beings.

These events on Critical Psychology are a monthly feature for our Stillpoint Community.
