CONFERENCE:
  Mental Health in the Medieval and Early Modern World
  - Perth Medieval and Renaissance Group/UWA Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies Annual Conference
		
Sat, 19 Oct 2019 09:00 - Arts Lecture Room 5 and 6 (Ground Floor, Arts Building), The University of Western Australia 
		
Modern stereotypes abound regarding how mental health was perceived
during the medieval and early modern period ranging from mental illness
being caused by sin to the idea that the attainment of mental well-being
could only be achieved through the balancing of the bodily humours. But
mental health was a more complex and expansive subject of discourse
throughout the period that was widely explored in medical treatises,
religious tracts and sermons, and prominent in art and literature, which
speaks to a more subtle understanding of the human mental state.

This conference aims to look at both the changing and continuing
perceptions of mental health throughout the medieval and early modern
period.
