An international programme of 17 speakers from the disciplines of art

and psychology has been assembled to explore this growing subject.
Themes will include the architecture, siting, landscaping and
sculptural ornamentation of asylums and other psychiatric
institutions; how space is used, experienced and appropriated by
patients/users and psychiatric professionals; the influence of
psychiatric thought on domestic architecture and other non-
institutional architecture; and the representation of psychiatric
institutions in the wider culture, including film.
