On Monday 15th May, our Year 12 Psychology students visited the Freud Museum in North West London, which is located in the house where Freud and his family came in 1938 as refugees from Nazi persecution.

The girls enjoyed exploring the house and gardens, marvelling at this site of incredible historical and psychological poignancy, as well as listening to a fascinating talk on schizophrenia. You can read their comments below:
