New event: Was Jung a mystic?


We will be hosting another Medicine and Literature event on Wednesday 2 February, 19.00-20.15. Join us to hear author Gary Lachman investigate the life of psychologist Carl Jung.

Gary's talk will chart the development of Jung's ideas, look into the reasons behind his early reticence and later advocacy of the paranormal, and finally ask, was Jung a scientist or a mystic, or perhaps something else?

The event is free and tickets can be booked on the Wellcome Collection website.
