DESCRIPTION:Philosophy of Psychiatry Webinar | Winter 2023\n\n'Deep Brain S
 timulation\, Electroconvulsive Therapy\, and the Self'\n\nRobyn Bluhm (Mic
 higan State University)\n	Thursday\, January 26\, 2023\n	12:00-1:30 PM\n\nAb
 stract: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been associated with alterations 
 in self-related characteristics when used to treat movement disorders and 
 obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Yet there is significant disagreement
  about the nature\, extent\, and frequency of these changes. Moreover\, as
  DBS is being investigated for use as a treatment for a wider variety of p
 sychiatric conditions\, questions about the relationships among treatment\
 , diagnosis\, and self become increasingly important\, given the centralit
 y of self-related characteristics to these conditions. In this talk\, I ai
 m to broaden the discussion about DBS and the self by considering a relate
 d phenomenon – memory loss in people treated with electroconvulsive therap
 y (ECT). I show that\, with both DBS and ECT\, it is important to understa
 nd not just the “direct” effects of the treatment\, but also the broader s
 ocial narratives around these treatments and the conditions they are used 
 to treat.\n\nThe webinar is free but registration is required: https://www
