What does Psychiatry share with Poetry? Both involve exploring underlying meaning to understand oneself better.
The Emory Psychoanalytic Society is presenting a series on “Psychiatry and the Humanities,” and the first event is this evening. Andrew Furman, professor of psychiatry, will join another Emory professor and poet Jericho Brown.
Furman spoke with “City Lights” about the intersection of the two disciplines.
