D Is for Diagnosis

Available for over a year

Ann York discusses diagnoses - and how receiving one of her own has made her think differently about giving them to others. Ann is a world-renowned child and adolescent psychiatrist, whose expertise is sought far and wide. In this intimate and fascinating talk she discusses the difficulties of giving a diagnosis, describing the benefits and the disadvantages, and how the young people in her care, and their parents, respond when diagnosed. And in front of an audience at Somerset House she describes how her own experiences with an unexpected diagnosis have affected how she thinks about her own work. Producer: Katie Langton.
