Dr. Laurence Kirmayer speaks on phenomenology and the ways in which it has mutated in a North American context. How are people framing the nature of their mental illness? How can we think of embodied experience (such as sleep paralysis) through metaphor as a bridge between neurology and a cultural point of view? Part of the Summer Programme in Social and Cultural Psychiatry from the Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry at McGill University.
