4th Annual One day International Conference

Psychotherapeutic practices have spread through the world through intersecting trade routes, and reshaped the social sphere. This conference draws together scholars working on histories of psychotherapies in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Japan, Italy, the UK and the US to explore the convergences and divergences of these developments in different cultures.
