| These lectures address diverse topics within bioethics and the medical humanities. Speakers are MH&B faculty or special guests we've invited to present. The lectures run every Thursday from noon to 12:45pm in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie building, during The Graduate School's fall, winter, and spring quarters. Due to public interest, we've made these lectures open to all, inside and outside the Northwestern community. Please feel free to bring a lunch. |

Thursday, March 12, 2009 This talk will explore the stories that psychotherapy clients tell about their experiences in treatment and the ways in which these narratives relate to mental health. Operating from a clinical psychological perspective, a series of three studies that draw on both qualitative and cutting-edge statistical techniques converges to suggest that certain narrative styles have particularly potent relationships with mental health. These relationships are explored both retrospectively and as they unfold over the course of treatment.
