7th Mediterranean Maudsley Forum

PictureProfessor Julian Leff
The MMF Organising Committee has safely postponed the 7th edition of the MMF Forum to May 2022, in consideration of current Covid-19 restrictions, the third wave of the pandemic, and delays in vaccine campaigns in many countries.      
The 7th MMF will take place from Monday 23/5/2022 to Thursday 26/5/2022.
We look forward to seeing you all in person in 2022, meanwhile we have organised a series of 2021 webinars.

 
​A webinar will be held on 26.5.2021 and dedicated to work inspired by Professor Julian Leff, who recently passed away. Professor Leff's research has been of primary importance for family therapy, and he was also the inventor of the Avatar therapy.
Speakers include Professor Tom Craig, Professor Craig Morgan, Professor Norman Sartorius, Professor Sir Robin Murray, and Dr Juliana Onwumere.

About.


What is the Mediterranean Maudsley Forum (MMF)?
Since 2007, the Institute of Psychiatry of King's College London has regularly exported its worldwide reputation for psychiatric research and clinical care to the centre of the Mediterranean. Thus, in this tradition of new learning and new experiences, the 7th MMF will provide an update on social, psychological and biological aspects of psychiatric disorders, reviewing both advances in understanding the disorders and exciting new methods of treatment.

Registration for the 7th MMF is OPEN

The meeting is taking place in the enchanting city of Palermo, Sicily, from the 23rd to the 26th of May 2022.
​
The 7th MMF is organised by Professor Sir Robin Murray, Professor of Psychiatric Research and Dr Marta Di Forti, Clinical Scientist at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, together with Professor Daniele La Barbera, Head of the Department of Psychiatry, Palermo Medical School, and Dr Anton Grech, Director of Mental Health Services in Malta and Senior Lecturer at the University of Malta.

What does the Forum cover?
The speakers are clinical psychiatrists and psychologists, who are well known international experts. They will present the most recent advances in Hot Topics in the fields of Psychotic and Mood Disorders, Addiction, Pharmacological and Psychological Treatment Interventions, Eating Disorders, Genetics and Epigenetics in Psychiatry, Neuroimaging and Neurocognition, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Who is the Forum for?
The course is intended for Psychiatrists, Clinical Psychologists, other Mental Health Professionals as well as Neuroscientists and Students who want to know the latest developments in psychiatry.  We expect about 90 participants from Europe and further afield. So there is plenty of opportunity for interaction with the speakers and other participants. Both new knowledge and lots of fun!


Location
The course is entirely in English.  The Forum will start at the "Sala delle Capriate", famous for its breathtaking ceiling “a cassettoni”, in Palazzo Steri, a stunning early 14th century Palace, today the Deanery of Palermo University . The Forum will be subsequently held in the “Sala Martorana” in Palazzo Comitini, a magnificent example of Sicilian Baroque in Palermo (TBC).
