Event Description : TALK : AIIMS presents "Violence: An Obsession of Our Times" As part of 'Mental Health' Series. 

Inexplicable violence is the hardest kind to accept. We as humans try to find logic when none exists. Frequently, violence is an organized crime or behaviour by one group against the other; by one group against a State, or it could be State vs State. Many times, however, it could be by a single individual against many. In such a situation, people are often heard as saying, “He must be crazy to do it”. The discussion aims to highlight what are the implications for mental health and all the stakeholders.

Speakers: Dr. Meenakshi Gopinath, Director, WISCOMP; former Principal, LSR (TBC); Dr Vinay Srivastava, Professor, Anthropology, University of Delhi and former Principal, Hindu College; and Dr Ramandeep Pattanayak, Asstt. Professor, Psychiatry, AIIMS

 Moderated by Prof S. K. Khandelwal
