Posted in: Homepage News and Events, Medical Humanities, World Languages and Cultures
The Department of World Languages and Cultures and the Medical Humanities Program are proud to welcome Dr. Vamik Volkan, a world-renowned Turkish Cypriot psychiatrist/psychoanalyst and international peace negotiator. A five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, the author of hundreds of publications, the recipient of a great many awards and honorary degrees around the world, it is truly an honor for us to have him as a guest.
The presentation will start with the story of a very rich man who would machine gun a herd of deer from a helicopter when facing an anxiety provoking event. How the task of becoming an animal killer was transmitted to him during his childhood from a stepfather will be illustrated.
