Discuss worldwide: mental health in the focus of the EnPA conference!
Schloss der Universität Münster, 48149 Münster, Deutschland - From June 11th to 13th, the EnPA conference entitled "Anthropologies and Psychologies in Inter/Action-Engaging Interdisciplinary Perspectives" takes place in the Castle of the University of Münster. According to the University of Münster reports about 150 participants from all over the world, including 50 from Münster. The conference will deal with topics related to mental health, education and upbringing, and the conference language will be English.
The event promises a varied program with public keynotes in the morning, followed by panels and "Labs" in the afternoon as well as discussions and film screenings in the evening. The keynote lectures by renowned scientists such as Dr. Byron J. Good from the Harvard Medical School, who will talk about humanitarian aid in post-catastrophic situations, and Prof. Dr. James Davies from the University of Rohampton, who examines the topic of psychological healing in the neoliberally structured health system. Also Prof. Dr. Charissa Chia from the University of Maryland will present her research on the development and upbringing of Asian-American adolescents.
interdisciplinary approaches
A central concern of the conference is the approach between the disciplines of ethnology and psychology. This is supported by the conviction that close cooperation in research is necessary to adequately treat complex issues of mental health. Prof. Dr. Joscha Kärtner from the University of Münster and Thomas Stodulka from the Institute of Ethnology are co -organizers of the conference and believe that a diversification and decolonialization of research methods and curricula are urgently required.
In addition to the academic perspectives, the relevance of anthropological psychology is also discussed. According to the website of anthroposophical psychology reports , this discipline not only includes the definition of humans, but also examines specific aspects of anthroposophical human studies, such as soul skills and psychology of the organs. The need for an integrative perspective in psychotherapy is becoming increasingly clear because it is about not only changing behavior, but also promoting the attitude of people.
global dimensions of mental health
Another important research area addressed at the conference is the global perspective on mental health. The working group "Transcultural Psychiatry" at the Charité focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to research topics, escape migration and their effects on mental health. The group integrates various disciplines, including sociology, ethnology, medicine and psychology, to illuminate the health effects of social inequalities and discrimination reports .
By using participatory approaches and the critical consideration of vulnerability, resilience and trauma discourses, an attempt is made to reduce structural barriers in health care and to promote equal participation. This not only requires academic examination, but also practical interventions in society.
Registration for the conference is free of charge for students from Münster, but required. The event offers an excellent opportunity to find out about current developments in psychology and anthropology and to get in touch with experts from all over the world.
