On this tour, Angus will use works by El Anatsui as metaphors for how key aspects of psychological therapy and psychiatry work in practice, whilst also illustrating how his research applies to global mental health in countries including Malawi. Looking at When a Gate Closes , Angus will talk about how the impact of trauma can be passed on through both biological and social mechanisms. Anatsui’s prints will then offer an opportunity to consider Attachment Theory and the importance of representation in therapy –focusing on the stories we tell about mental health. Closing with Scottish Book Mission Depot Keta , seeing this huge work as a complex tapestry, he will explore how in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy important insights into mental health arise from the accumulation of details, offering a window onto the value of learning how to change the way you think and behave in the world.
