Please note that the ‘last booking’ date is only a guide. Courses may close earlier. In order to avoid disappointment, please be sure to enrol as soon as possible. Registrations may not be processed until the following day if received after 3pm. 

The history of ‘hysteria’ is simultaneously a medical narrative and a cultural one, being as much a kind of communication as a psychological ‘disorder’, expressing symptoms that strive to tell stories the conscious mind is unable to articulate. 

On this course we shall pick our way through the labyrinth of hysteria, from the 18th century culture of ‘Sensibility’ to the present, visiting en route Romanticism and Gothic, psychiatry and clinical psychology, Symbolism, Decadence and Surrealism.
