Book launch of Embodied Trauma and Healing

What if philosophy could solve the psychological puzzle of trauma? Embodied Trauma and Healing argues just that, suggesting that one might be needed in order to understand the other.

In this most recent release from Routledge, Anna Westin demonstrates how the body-mind problem that haunted Descartes was addressed by phenomenologists, whilst also proposing that the human experience is lived subjectively as embodied consciousness.

Throughout this book, the author suggests that the phenomenological tools that are used to explore the body can also be an effective way to discuss the physical and mental aspects of embodied trauma.

This evening celebrates the launch of the book with contributions from a variety of speakers reflecting the diversity of the field, in conjunction with the Bakhita Centre and the Centre for Bioethics and Emerging Technologies at St Mary’s University.

This event is free to attend but booking is required due to venue capacity.
