Richard Bates

PhD student in History at the University of Nottingham. My research is on the history of psychoanalysis in France, focusing particularly on one practitioner, Françoise Dolto, who combined medical, psychological and religious approaches in the treatment of children with mental health problems. I am interested in looking at the spread of thinking about psychology and mental health in society and popular culture and how this can interact with political and sexual ideologies.
