*********This event will be held in person (with the option for some to participate online concurrently). We would like to encourage as many of you as possible to join us in person.Location: Seminar room 5, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology &amp; Neuroscience (IoPPN), 16 De Crespigny Park, London, SE5 8AF. **********Please join us for the final meeting of the Maudsley Philosophy Group&#x27;s spring seminar series in which we welcome Dr Gareth Owens, consultant psychiatrist and Reader at King’s College London, who will be speaking on the topic: what is formulation in psychiatry?Abstract:This seminar aims to discuss what is meant by formulating a case in psychiatry. The practice of formulation has been both championed and denigrated within psychiatry historically but is somewhat dead currently or delegated to psychology. I will start from the premise that formulation needs resuscitating. But it needs re-thinking and I hope the Maudsley Philosophy Group will help.The talk will trace how the problem of formulation is really the problem of holism. Holism manifests (differently) in: 1) the ‘biopsychosocial model’, 2) the concept of the ‘diagnostic hierarchy’ and 3) in the idea of ‘verstehen’ in distinction to causal explanation. All three perspectives will be critically discussed.
