Much has been written about the therapeutic value of art. But how exactly does art affect the brain, thought patterns and behaviours? This talk will explore these and other fascinating questions, drawing upon case studies from Robinson’s personal experiences as a psychotherapist as well as the work of Nina Kraus, Anne Bolwerk, Jane Campion, Janet Frame and others.
Free! All are welcome!
