RANZCP ACT Branch Let's MEET

RANZCP ACT Branch and Canberra Health Service welcomes you to attend the final Let's MEET.

We will be welcoming Professor Greg de Moore who will be presenting on Finding Sanity: John Cade, lithium and the taming of bipolar disorder 

And Dr Nathan Emmerich who will present Self and Meaning: Existentialism, Therapy and Psychedelics. 
Emerging in the middle of the 20th century, existentialist philosophy arguably responded to a crisis in meaning, one that resulted from the realisation that the universe was absurd, or that it was not possible to establish a foundational, transcendental or metaphysical meaning of human existence. Since its inception, existentialism has played a significant role in psychotherapeutic discourse. Given that questions about meaning are seemingly coming to the fore once again, it is worth reflecting on the contribution existentialism might make today, particularly in the context of the (re)development of Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy and the meaning-full nature of such experiences.
