The subject of childhood is one that interests, as is well known, all scientific fields which study man (medicine, psychiatry, psychology, social sciences etc.).

It is undoubtedly an attractive subject, mostly for the reason that there is a point of reference in our adult life. We all carry memories, images, pieces from all the interactions of that time, that in the end stigmatize the rest of our lives.

Opening: Tuesday 2 February 2010 time 19:30
