Hello there reader,

You are invited to the opening of the Goldsmiths MA Art Psychotherapy end of year exhibition 'Playing With Reality' 

Thursday 21st June 2012 6-9pm 
It's on from Friday June 22 to Monday June 25. 

Richard Hoggart Building's Kingsway Corridor and in the foyer of the Whitehead Building - if you go to the main Goldsmith's building in New Cross they will show you where to go! It's quite a small campus so it's all easy.

I will be exhibiting some mental health assessment forms that I have edited - along with the originals used by NHS Primary Care Trusts. I've been thinking about how tricky it is to assess emotions, trying to widen the field to think about other extreme states and emotions, as well as distress that people would traditionally seek mental health treatment for. I have been wondering about the role of labeling feeling states pejoratively - that in different contexts are not seen so negatively.
