Event Information
Join us for the third instalment of our psychopathology masterclass, where Professor Gareth Owen (King’s College London) and Professor Femi Oyebode (University of Birmingham) will be discussing the psychopathology and phenomenology of suicide.
Drawing on their clinical and academic expertise, the webinar will explore how subjective experience, existential struggle, and psychopathological processes intersect in suicidal ideation and the act of suicide. The focus will be the phenomenology of suicide in adults with terminal illness.
