Agenda

Description:

Renowned psychiatrist and epidemiologist Jim van Os will offer a research seminar on mental disorders “Una nueva comprensión de las causas y el abordaje de los trastornos mentales: poniendo la persona, la sociedad y la complejidad en el centro de la investigación”, as part of the PhD programme in Clinical and Health Psychology, coordinated by the research group Interacció Persona-Ambient en Salut Mental at the UAB Department Clinical and Health Psychology. 

Jim van Os is Director of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology at Maastricht University Medical Centre, lecturer at Utrecht University and visiting lecturer at King's College London Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience. He is considered one of the foremost experts in mental research. His work focuses on the redefinition of mental disorders, the causal role of macro-social and everyday contextual factors in health and how these interact with genetic and psychological variability in a wide variety of mental disorders. He is critical with the medical dominance of mental health management and advocates placing the individual at the centre as an active agent and co-responsible for his or her treatment.

Professor van Os is part of the list of the Thompson-Reuter Web of Science "Most Influential Scientific Minds" and "Highly Cited Researchers". He is also co-author of 800 publications, including journals such as Nature, Lancet and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (USA), among others.

The seminar is open and forms part of the UAB year dedicated to mental health.
