Join us in conversation with our dear guest, Dr Kiran Nijabat, whom is a Consultant Child and Adolescent psychiatrist and the founder and director of the Family Wellness Practice.

Discussing the origin of psychiatry, diagnosis and mental illness. Dr Bill Young is a Consultant Child, Adolescent and Family Psychiatrist working across independent, not-for-profit and academic sectors. His special interests include mindfulness-based interventions, school wellbeing, clinical addictions in adolescence, and child refugee mental health.  I was lucky enough to get to know Dr Bill during my training as he lectured us for a term, teaching us the medical stance on mental illness, diagnosis's and treatment. In my experience anyone trying to grapple with mental health can benefit from gaining a sense of what Psychiatry is, how it works and when to use it. I have often found that there are a lot of preconceptions when thinking of psychiatry. I personally used to find it hard not to think of a doctor in a white coat, asylums and the hard history that often illustrated in films. The hope here, is that we can all gain an alternative understanding, a human, tangible and relatable sense of this invaluable specialty. In this episode Dr Bill helps us see  how psychiatry is unique and unlike any other specialty to medicine. Psychiatry is looking to treat and diagnose something that is not always physical, it is interpreting a subjective experience into symptoms that inform a treatment plan. The aim is to consider those who are suffering, those who are ill. However illness also means that you can fall out of illness and become better. Support the show

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 Dr Music will examine how early experiences, secure attachments, and safe environments can lead to more altruistic, prosocial, and empathic ways of acting while stress, trauma, and neglect can lead to more aggression, callousness, and antisocial behaviour. He will examine what current research and clinical understandings can teach us about living a Good Life. Why might we, and the children or adults, act selfishly and antisocially? Are we born selfish or cooperative and what might sway us in either direction? How do both stress-inducing family contexts and competitive social and economic environments undermine our capacity to feel safe, experience well-being, or care much for ourselves or others? How does a consumerist, materialist ethos, as well as the challenges posed by the cyber-age and increasingly speeded up lives have an impact? This talk will draw on lessons from developmental science, neurobiology, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness to examine the links between feeling good and being good, and generally ponder the Good Life. --- Dr Graham Music, PhD is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist at the Tavistock Centre and an adult Psychotherapist in private practice. Formerly Associate Clinical Director of the Tavistock Clinic's Child and Family Department, he works at the Portman as a forensic psychotherapist, and his clinical experience has for decades been mainly with trauma.

He supervises and teaches nationally and internationally, and has a particular interest in linking cutting-edge developmental findings with therapeutic practice. His publications include Nurturing Children: From Trauma to Hope (2019), Nurturing Natures: (2016, 2010), Affect and Emotion (2001), The Good Life: (2014) and the forthcoming Resparking (2022), as well as co-editing From Trauma to Harming Others (2021), and shortly his new book Resparking will come out shortly. -- The Weekend University's mission is to make the best minds and ideas in psychology more accessible, so that you can use the knowledge to improve your quality of life.

In this special January episode Dr Hinemoa Elder, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist based in New Zealand and WEM Host Dr Will Duffin explore 10 Māori proverbs (whakataukī) from her recent book Aroha and reflect on how this ancient wisdom can be applied to our daily lives during the pandemic. This episode is about personal growth and wellbeing. In the session they explore the following:- Making time for mind-weeding- Experiencing the joy in small things- Knowledge as nourishment- How true friendship reaches for the hand but touches the heart- Why we should all know our ancestors- Why our individual success is not possible without collective success- Why hope won’t get you crayfish!- Why sometimes you have to chew on the shit stick- The wisdom of silence- Why those who seek the treasures of the ocean should be prepared to get wet…! - How you can write your OWN proverbs and start to write your own legacy as an ancestor of the future.  About the book: Aroha is an ancient Māori word and way of thinking that means love, compassion, respect and empathy. It is one of the central pillars of Māori wisdom that enables and facilitates a more contented life. Aroha is also the title of a collection of the timeless wisdom of Māori proverbs. 52 whakatauki - traditional Māori sayings compiled and explained by respected Māori psychiatrist Dr Hinemoa Elder, showing us how we can live better lives, in harmony with the planet. These simple and powerful life lessons (one for every week in the year) aim to guide us in living a less stressful daily life. Chapters in the book cover manaakitanga (love for each other), kaitiakitanga (respect for our planet), whanaungatanga (community and connection) and tino rangatiratanga (self-determination).

Find out how the power of aroha can help you each day, and through its many meanings make a happier world for everyone. Ki te kotahi te kākaho ka whati, ki te kāpuia, e kore e whati When we stand alone, we are vulnerable, but together we are unbreakable.

Over the past few years we have seen a number of high profile men being publically accused of sexual abuse and assault. It’s become a pinnacle aspect of the #MeToo movement. So why is the act of speaking out still met with so much resentment? Why is it so difficult to criticise male celebrities who have large followings? And how much more complex does this issue become when it intersects with race? Jacqueline Springer is a contemporary black music and culture journalist and lecturer. Leanne Levers has a PhD in politics and international studies, focusing on sexual violence and justice reform in minority communities. Jennifer M. Gómez is an Assistant Professor for the Department of Psychology at Wayne State University in Michigan. How do you prepare your family in the event of a coronavirus lockdown? What plans should you make to keep your children entertained if the schools shut and they are stuck at home, how can you make home working work for you and how can you stop petty arguments with your partner or loved ones if you’re stuck in each other’s company for an indefinite period of time? Beverly Ramsey is living in Parma in Italy and tells us about the realities of coping with three children in a city in lockdown and Laverne Antrobus a Consultant Child and Educational Psychologist offers advice on we can best deal with this unusual situation.

The word ‘concussion’ might sound like a benign knock to the head but it can have lasting consequences. Women are particularly at risk. With all else being equal, women are two to three times more likely to experience a concussion, will have worse symptoms and take longer to recover. Dr Willie Stewart from Glasgow University has been trying to find out why – but has been hampered by the lack of female brains available to study. He’s now asking women to consider donating their brains in the name of science and understanding how sex differences affect the outcome and treatment of traumatic brain injury. Jane is also joined by Samantha Ainsworth, who talks about her experience of post-concussion syndrome. Back in October we spoke to the anti-abortion group who put up graphic posters of aborted foetuses in the constituency of the MP Stella Creasy. At the time she was heavily pregnant. The same group, called CBR UK, is now planning regular anti-abortion demonstrations at Cardiff University. They've had three of them already, just before Christmas. We speak to the student who encouraged an automatic pro-choice stance at Cardiff University, and a recent graduate who's part of a group which helps students who are against abortion to express their views. Also, Dr Pam Lowe from Aston University who has been researching attitudes to abortion at UK universities. Women are the main readers of fiction. They outnumber men in all categories of fiction bar fantasy, horror and science fiction. In her new book Why Women Read Fiction, Professor Helen Taylor draws on over 500 interviews with women readers to examine how and why women consume fiction and why reading fiction is so important to huge numbers of women. The government’s official advisers on youth justice are calling for a full review of the age of criminal responsibility. They would like it raised by at least two years to 12, as Scotland has done recently. So why do England and Wales continue to set theirs at ten despite it being the lowest in Europe? Should children as young as ten caught committing a crime receive welfare interventions rather than being dealt with by the justice system? Jane is joined by Dr Eileen Vizard, Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist at the Institute of Child Health in UCL and Louise King, Director of Policy and Campaigns, from the legal charity, Just for Kids Law.
