Workshop to feature controversial psychiatric issues

The Counselling Departments of Capilano College and VCC, King Edward Campus, are co-hosting a workshop on October 24, featuring well-known psychiatrist R.D. Laing, and B.C. psychologist Andrew Feldmar. In “Taking Care of Others: The Limits of Therapy”, Laing and Feldmar will discuss the “Philadelphia Association of London”, an organization concerned with setting up households as places of sanctuary, refuge and dwelling, where people may live without receiving any treatment they do not want, and “Integra Housholds Association”, a similar local group. Laing will also be giving a premier presentation of a controversial videotape, in which he works with a psychotic patient, and there will be a live demonstration with a client.

This workshop will take place Saturday, October 24 in the King Edward Campus auditorium from 10 am to 4pm. The registration fee is $70, which includes lunch. For more information contact Continuing Education at VCC, 687-1757.
