Open access in Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology until the end of the month! Why democratize psychiatric research? I outline six epistemic and ethical features of the field that generate participatory obligations. The epistemic features include: 1) the irreducible value of patient experience..
Candice Vinson, PhD I like Jonathan but certainly don’t agree with him on this. It’s a grave social regression to once again seek to place depression outside the medical model. Reducing mental health to will power, is a regression that demonizes suffering people.
Candice Vinson, PhD “Personality style,” is not a causal explanation for depression, neither is using the analogy of a fever. The work to be done is in neurobiology. Now, that said, if cognitive techniques can be innovated that reduce depression (for some), that’s a wonderful thing.
Chris Cannida, M.S., LPC-S Candice Vinson, PhD Certainly a subjective element to it, but the bottom line is that it’s a (complex) neurochemical condition taking place in the brain (maybe correlated with microbiome). People are victims of these conditions, reducing that to a failure of will power, is regressive.
Dr Annie Hickox Dr Joanna Moncrieff It’s also rather patronising - many healthcare professionals who know how to research the evidence also become unwell in fact more than in the general population.
Candice Vinson, PhD Chris Cannida, M.S., LPC-S You’re not understanding, that’s what your position reduces to. All you have to do is probe what you mean by “personality style.” The emerging psychological narrative is a will power narrative - it states that mental health is simply a choice, moving away from the medical model.
Chris Cannida, M.S., LPC-S Candice Vinson, PhD Hello Chris, I was specifically referring to Candice. And no, certainly not “discount” your expertise, nor that of Candice. I aim to refute a dangerous narrative that’s subtly emerging that’s going to victimize suffering people: the departure from the medical model.
Candice Vinson, PhD Chris Cannida, M.S., LPC-S I agree. I deal in critical theory / we try to see the danger in advance. From my analysis of Anti-psychiatry and trends in Positive Psychology, a new will power narrative is emerging, and it’s dangerous! If adopted it will ultimately defund mental health!
