Living Life Beyond Diagnosis: Experiences, Ideas & Practicalities
National Hearing Voices Network
Thursday, 26 January 2017 from 09:30 to 16:45 (GMT)
London, United Kingdom
This free* one day conference, supported by the BPS, provides an opportunity to explore the value of, and problems with, psychiatric diagnosis. Using some alternative ways of understanding, and responding, to emotional crises without diagnosis as inspiration, we will explore some of the challenging personal and social implications of moving beyond psychiatric diagnosis. This is not a conference aiming for a single unified voice – it provides a welcoming space to explore these issues.
