1. **The Meaning of Madness: Concepts of depression**

Friday, February 26, 2010
Merton College, Mure Room, 6pm

The Oxford Forum for Medical Humanities is proud to present Dr. Neel Burton, author of “The Meaning of Madness”.  Dr. Burton will be addressing the complex and often misunderstood world of mental illness, and discussing it in the context of his new book, which examines the adaptive or evolutionary advantages that may be exhibited from different types of disorders. This promises to be a thought-provoking event, offering intriguing insights into the workings of the mind.

A LIGHT BUFFET will be provided before the lecture (6-6.30pm)
