Week 3: Psychotic and Substance-Use
Fray Gilabert Jofré amparando a un loco
[Father Gilabert Jofré protecting an insane person], by Joaquin Sorolla Bastida, 1887 (Aldana, San Miguel, & Moreno, 2010)

Let’s start the week by spending a couple minutes with a painting depicting an experience of mental illness. What is happening here? What comes to mind? Why? Follow the white rabbit.
