Slow Psychiatry: Integrating Need-Adapted Approaches with Drug-Centered Pharmacology
For the past four years, I have been deconstructing my views of my profession. My focus has been primarily in two areas: the efficacy and safety of the drugs I prescribe and the so-called āalternativeā approaches (in this I include many things such as Open Dialogue, Hearing Voices groups, and Intentional Peer Support to name a few). I have shared much of this in the blogs I wrote during this time. I am also interested in how we can improve and reform the public mental health system since this is not only where I work but where most people seek services and help. I wonder where ā if anywhere ā psychiatrists fit in to a reformed system.
