UIC College of Medicine M1 and M2 students are invited to a discussion of Blind to Betrayal by Dr. Jennifer Freyd and Dr. Pamela Birrell, as part of the Medical Colloquium series. Students will learn to recognize how the medical field produces harm among medical students, residents, physicians, and their patients; understand how to name harm and describe how violence is built structurally into medical spaces; and develop strategies for addressing harm and supporting survivors within our institutions.

About Blind to Betrayal:
Written by one of the world's top experts on betrayal and child abuse along with a psychotherapist and educator with twenty-five years of experience, Blind to Betrayal explains the many different forms of betrayal, finally revealing why its victims can endure mistreatment, sometimes for years, without seeming to know that it is happening, even when it may be obvious to others around them.
