In this response to Nielsen et al, we discuss if their call to measure epistemic injustice in psychaitrywith a checklist approach is progressive, or a category error; treating a conceptual framework as a thing that can be counted:

Could shared deliberation replace shared decision making in cases where agreement cannot be reached?

A triangulation of scientific perspectives to inform clinical decision making when shared decision making breaks down @helene_speyer https://t.co/IUE7Aae08J

If recovery is to have any influence, we need to skærpende and deeepen the conceptual clarity. We gave it a go in Lancet here:

“The best clinicians I know are the ones who figure out how to use their own lived experiences to connect with the people they work with. The ones who understand that we aren’t just applying techniques—we’re engaging in relationships.” 👇🏽

[Helene Speyer @helene_speyer]

In science, we often celebrate consensus papers
With this dissensus paper, we hope to inspire a love for disagreements—not to suppress them, but to harness their power for progress!

@awaisaftab You basically stated up a reason why people should be skeptical of "The Science"...

Formal education does not enhance a person's self-awareness of their biases. Maybe buddhist monk's should be part of peer review process and question the researchers insight levels..

Personal narratives are sometimes met with polite smiles and silent applaus. Is deference a way to neglect lived experience as a valid source of knowledge? Out today in Psychiatric Service with John Lysaker

@mellemrum Helt enig, det er et nyt slags paradoks, det svære i, som læge, at fortælle nogen at de er raske!

[Helene Speyer @helene_speyer]

Labeling individuals with psychiatric diagnoses can yield unintended consequences, stemming from the personal and societal connotations associated with these labels. Transparency about the hypothetical nature of diagnoses is important:

3 Umpires:
1)"There are balls & strikes & I call them as they are" (Realist)
2)"There are balls & strikes & I call them as I see them" (Constructivist)
3)No balls & no strikes til I call them" (Solopsist)

Fun paper: DSM-III hoped to be 1, but psych "reality" is way too complex.

Enyoing a most engaged audience at @ENMESHmental in Versailles, arguing for the need for transformation of mental health care through epistemic humility

[The McPin Foundation @McPinFoundation]

Symposium organised by @helene_speyer #enmesh2024 @ENMESHmental sharing own lived experience of mental distress, training as a doctor, working as a psychiatrist , being a researcher and in last year bringing all 3 elements together. A third space leading to epistemic humility. 🙏

[Helene Speyer @helene_speyer]

The reading of @awaisaftab s authorship through the last years have brought me a long way in my conceptual understanding of psychiatry.
