My guest today is Dr Brendan New. Brendan New is a Clinical Psychologist who has worked in the field of child protection and mental health for over 15 years and has a deep commitment to working with vulnerable children and families. Brendan currently divides his time between his clinical practice in a public child mental health service in Western Sydney and varying teaching roles around NSW. He is a firm believer in the importance of reflective practice and the benefits of learning from others, and wherever possible incorporates these principles into his teaching. In this episode, Brendan helps us explore the question of Nature vs nurture from a medical point of view, exploring the ramifications of childhood trauma, which J.S Bach certainly suffered, and how that can manifest in genius or not.
