UCLA Programs in Medical Classics
Winter-Spring 2002:  Mental Disorders and Biological Cures: Lectures in 
the History of Psychiatry and Neuroscience
http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/biomed/his/medicalclassics.html

The UCLA Programs in Medical Classics is a series of presentations 
designed to enhance an appreciation of the links among famous medical 
writings, clinical practice, basic research, and humanistic 
scholarship. Held monthly, October through May or June, these meetings 
bring together a convivial group of individuals of scholarly tastes-- 
both from the community and from the UCLA faculty, students and 
staff--to read, discuss and examine texts that embody advances in 
medicine and in the relationship of medicine to broader cultural 
settings. The 2001-2002 academic year is our eighteenth season.
