Sorry about the out of sync audio, it gets better during the video

Dr. J. Vervaeke, just one of four speakers from the "Mind Matters: Toward a New Understanding of Psychopathology" conference, held on Saturday March 19, 2011, gives a talk called "Salience Dysregulation and the Continuum Between Foolishness and Psychopathology."

Information about the conference: What does it mean for the mind to be pathological? What criterion should we use to diagnose and categorize people as mentally ill? Can there be alternative models of psychopathology other than the medical model? If so, what are they? This conference presents a series of discussions, as well as an open panel debate, regarding the development and comparison of different conceptions of psychopathology.
This conference was organized by the U of T Jungian Society and the Buddhism & Psychology Students Union. The following are recognized for their generous support: Arts and Science Student Union, Paradigms & Archetypes Program, Buddhism, Psychology and Mental Health Program, and New College.
