GOAN PSYCHIATRY IN PERSPECTIVE:

 from Abbe Faria till Vikram Patel

As we draw the curtain on May, we’re reminded about Abbe Faria, the founder of Hypnotism. In fact, 31st May will be the 259th birth anniversary of this world pioneer. His work and contribution have been acclaimed in Europe, Russia and the USA. But how do we project and acknowledge our very own Goan hero and philosopher-scientist, while commemorating this occasion?

Born in our land and nurtured in this soil, Faria’s seminal work is restricted to our recognition of his statue in the capital city – Panjim, a road in Margao bequeathed to his name, a Psychology Department in a college named in his honor, and a primary school in Candolim, which bears his name. If this is the best we know about Abbe Faria, isn’t it time to set the details and facts right?

To deepen the awareness about the work and achievements of this great Goan, a workshop is being organized by the Psychiatric Society of Goa in collaboration with International Centre Goa. Relevant details are given below:

 

         Date: 30th May 2015 (Saturday)

          Timings: 2.00 pm – 6.30 pm

          Venue: International Centre Goa
