Learning how to feel good: Understanding and treating the anhedonic symptoms of depression

The primary focus in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for depression is to down-regulate negative thinking and feeling. However, it is increasingly realised that anhedonia, a reduction in the ability to experience pleasure, is also central to the onset and maintenance of depression. Augmenting positive emotional experience and positive information processing has received less attention in the CBT literature to date. This talk will present recent advances in the understanding of positive information processing and anhedonia in depression, ranging from basic science findings through to clinical interventions.

The Logic of Games Structure

Game structures are spatially and/or temporally delimited forms of behaviour specific to individual agents - particles, bees, human beings - as well as complex systems - stock brokering, Christianity, swarming. They exist in art, mathematics, philosophy, politics and economics and appear in many forms: as an exploration of identity (role play), as a sensorial titillation (seduction), as a method of communication (inter-species play), as a raison d'etre of economic fundamentalism (game theory), as a form of resistance (culture jamming), as a metaphysical pattern (recursion), as a model of thought (syllogism).

Applying the sociology of diagnosis to mental health

In 1978, sociologist Mildred Blaxter wrote that: The activity known as diagnosis is central to the practice of medicine but is studied less than its importance deserves. Diagnosis fulfils many social roles but it also provides an analytic lens through which we can see many issues that are of concern to sociologists, such as professional and institutional boundaries, resource allocation, authority, negotiation, lay-professional disputes, and social relationships. In this talk I will present a synopsis of perspectives from the sociology of diagnosis, an emerging sub discipline in medical sociology that has seen a surge of interest over the past several years, notably with the publication of Anne Marie Jutels Putting a Name to It, and will focus particularly on relevance to mental health practice and concerns.

Varieties of Posthumanism: Policy as Practice and Performance

An interdisciplinary "Bridging the Gaps" workshop gathering representatives from science, policy, social sciences and humanities to offer various perspectives on posthumanism. The theme is highly pertinent to current debates on governance of science and technology in light of emergent technological capabilities. Speakers presented different takes on posthumanism: as object of social science and humanities inquiry; scientific practices leading to the creation of computing technologies imitating human capacities; and policy as practice and performance. The articulation of policy is a performative speech act that directs and in many cases alters behaviour. The workshop created a cross-disciplinary dialogue on post-humanism that also addressed the performative role of policy. Full details
