180th Anniversary Free Members' Webinar: Psychiatry, psychiatrists and Jewish identity in the UK, past and present

Thursday 14 October 2021

Overview

This webinar will give psychiatrists an insight into:

• The origins of today’s UK Jewish community, including the major immigration c.1880-1914; refugees from the Nazis; and more recently
• Jewish involvement in psychiatry, particularly the work of refugees who came to the UK in the 1930s
• Identity and diversity in the UK Jewish community
  

We will not be focusing on Jewish religious practice, information about which is more readily available.
