OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Psychiatric classifications emerge from and are employed in the context of theoretical approaches that take certain assumptions about the nature of mental illness for granted. This presentation will provide an overview of the historical development of Kraepelinian and neo-Kraepelinian psychiatric classifications and will examine how questions of classification, especially the tension between description and hypothetical-conjectural methods, , have intersected with questions about the nature of psychiatric disorders in modern history. This talk will end with an appreciation of the ongoing controversies reflecting difficulties inherent in defining and classifying mental illness, with some preliminary remarks on future directions.
