“Archaic Concepts”  

The history of psychiatry and psychology has a long and complex history of the surveys conducted on the human mind and mental health. The first attempts to understand and treat mental disorders of humankind goes back to ancient times. A lot has changed since then. One of the best ways to trace the changes in mental illness and mental illness-related phenomena would be to look at their relationship with art.

In this seminar series, two psychiatrists Alper Hasanoğlu and Cengiz Arca trace ancient concepts related to mental illnesses. During their journey, they look at the relationship between mental illnesses and various art disciplines with guests from cinema, literature, philosophy and more.

Moderators: Alper Hasanoğlu, Cengiz Arca
