Between a sense of crisis and present analysis
The event starts where many current debates hit limits: the question of what a society does to the individual and how mental health is put under pressure. The speaker, Prof. (OTH) Dr. med. M. Wittmann, MHBA, Medical Director and Chief Physician at the medbo District Hospital Wöllershof, combines medical expertise with a clear view of psychosocial contexts.
