Episode 2: Cavell with Paul Standish
‘Medicine is not a good model for so-called mental health, because there isn’t something really called mental health, people are more or less unhappy, more or less troubled, more or less feel their lives are not their own.' – Adam Phillips
In this second episode of ‘Disquieted Life’, Dr Emma Williams talks to Professor Paul Standish about mental health and the ideas of the thinker Stanley Cavell.
