Psychology: Mind Your Head

Through an exciting range of objects, artworks, audiovisuals and an interactive your students can explore the essential techniques that most psychologists use in their everyday practice.

The exhibition has three main themes:

'Solving puzzles' shows how psychologists have addressed a very difficult problem: just how does the mind work?

The 'Using tools' case explores the practical ways psychologists tackle problems in education, health and industry.

In the final case, called 'Telling stories', there are two stories involving the psychologist famed for treating war poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen using the then new methods of psychoanalysis – the so-called ‘talking cure’.
