The module aims to explore common psychiatric disorders of childhood from a range of perspectives. Different speakers are invited to speak to their understanding of each disorder from the position of their own discipline or theoretical framework, including psychiatry, neuroscience, CBT and psychoanalysis among others. This provides a unique opportunity to reflect on what it means when we speak, for example, about PTSD, ADHD or autism. Key aims are to encourage students to question and engage with different perspectives on psychiatric disorders and to reflect on the opportunities and limits of combining them in our understanding of mental health.
