        "introduction": "Professor Nikolas Rose highlights how modern neuroscience and the medical perception of the brain change the way we view ourselves. What kinds of creatures do we, modern human beings, take ourselves to be?",
        "text": "Rose draws on his research on the history and sociology of psychiatry and the neurosciences. He will argue that the current focus of scientific, medical and popular attention on the human brain amounts to a shift in our ‘relation to ourselves’. He argues that those from the social and human sciences need to attend to and engage with this shift, but that their relation to these developments should be one of ‘critical friendship’. His talk focuses on psychiatry and mental health, and he illustrates his argument with a critical analysis of five areas where such critical friendship is required:\\n\\nHe concludes with a discussion of contemporary transformations in conceptions of personhood and their implications.",
