The Master and his emissary - Ian McGilchrist and Dympna Cunnane

Iain McGilchrist is a psychiatrist and writer who practised in London, but now lives on the Isle of Skye, where he continues to write and make a living by lecturing.

He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains. 

In this podcast Iain and Dympna explore the themes of his books and ask how they relate to the medical profession. The fundemental differences in the left and right brain are discussed and the common myths associated with both are dismantled leaving a clearer picture of how to understand behaviours and decision making.

The podcast and its themes will be discussed in further detail on 28 January 2015 in a webinar open to both members and non-members of FMLM.
