Gresham College Lectures
Changing Minds and Changing Risk
•
Gresham College
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Professor Gwen Adshead looks at the risks factors and the common types of violence, within the context of treatment and therapy issues http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/changing-minds-and-changing-risk
In this talk, I explore the ethical issues that arise when people seek to change their minds. I discuss the political aspects of changing minds; the use of stories and media to create a change. I focus my talk on the process of changing "bad" minds into "better" minds, and the question of whether there is a duty to try and change people's minds when they have offended. I will ask if there is a right to be left alone to make bad choices, using examples from mental health case law.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/changing-minds-and-changing-risk
