| Extra Info | : | James Mackeith Lecture 2025 Speaker: Gwen Adshead, Chaired by David Bell In this talk, I will suggest that human rights need to be understood in the context of our duties to each other, which in turn are based on a relational state of mind. I will explore this relational state of mind from the perspective of attachment theory and attachment security as a state of mind which promotes positive relationships. I will discuss the evidence that attachment insecurity is common among those with poor mental health and especially in groups of people who commit acts of violence against other humans. I will discuss what these studies might imply for services that offer interventions with violence perpetrators, and the kind of therapies that emphasise the paying of attention to one’s own mind and the minds of others. |
