Esman Lecture
Ginette Jubinville, Ph.D., University of Montreal in conversation with Todd Porterfield, Ph.D., New York University, Gallatin
Seminars at the Institute of Psychiatry are presented in front of an interdisciplinary gathering of clinicians, scholars, students, interested lay people, and others. Because some of our presentations are works in progress, some lecturers choose not to make them available online. Those for which we have obtained permission are listed here. The Institute will continue to add talks as they occur.
