A History of Tennis, Talking Treatments
Tennis: A social history. Laurie Taylor considers the ways in which the story of tennis illuminates the 20th century. Also, is there a class bias in psychotherapy?
Tennis: From Victorian Pastime to Global Phenomenon. Laurie Taylor talks to life long tennis fan and cultural historian, Elizabeth Wilson. The story of tennis illuminates social change and struggle across the 20th century, going hand in hand with the march of modernity, globalisation, commercialisation and gender equality.
Also, Daniel Holman, a post doctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge, discusses class differences in the use of 'talking treatments' for mental health problems with Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology at Birkbeck College. Why are these treatments so underused by working class people?
Producer: Jayne Egerton.
