For #MHAW2020 I will share some of the research interests of our wonderful @IMH_UoB and @PTRBirmingham PhD students /1
Let’s start with @RRitunnano who is asking whether #delusions can have #meaning and give #meaning /2
How should we understand the experience of #loneliness? How does it differ from #solitude? @ValeriaNMotta addresses those questions! /5
How can we best characterise #psychopathy and encourage people with that diagnosis to take an interest in their future selves? That’s @JaneKisbey’s research /7
Is there any benefit in #confabulation? And how does our tendency to confabulate impact on virtue #ethics? Those are some of @kmurphyhollies’s questions /9
What is the role of #philosophy in #psychotherapy? Is Plato’s account of self-knowledge underlying some key ideas in CBT? Chloe Bamboulis explores such questions (and she submitted the image below to the UoB Images of Research competition) /10
How do people with #psychosis make sense of reality and when do they experience epistemic #injustice? Aneela Khan asks.(Her “image of research” below) /11
Is #OCD a pathological response to #uncertainty? Joseph Houlders is developing such an account—the photo is of Merleau-Ponty who features prominently in Joe’s research... /13
How do blunted affect and social #withdrawal link to #suicide in people with #schizophrenia? @mxgrigoriou investigates /15
Finally, Reinier Shuur investigates the problem of #normativity and concept validity in psychiatric research /16
