History of Psychiatry Lectures

• A Maudsley Education in the 60s
• Making Sense of Psychiatry and Counter-Culture
• DR ANTHONY FRY

Psychiatry in the 1960s stood at a crossroads.
Maudsley trainees were pulled in different
directions by the teachings of psychoanalysis,
existentialism and the biomedical model. Anthony
Fry, who trained at Maudsley from 1968 to 1972
and later became a consultant at Guys Hospital,
reflects on a personal journey through the
philosophical debates on mind and madness, with
insights on key figures and fashions in a radical
period in British psychiatry.
