Just accepted at Nature Mental Health: Crises and Opportunities for Psychological Science under Fascism doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/nz42x_v3 1/9
This manuscript has been provisionally accepted for publication at Nature Mental Health.

 science under fascism. Nature Mental Health.
 Abstract
 Psychopathology research and treatment is at a crucial juncture. Particularly within the
 United States, funding for scientific research has been cut drastically; academic freedom is under
 attack; and efforts to diversify our workforce and mitigate our field's contributions to systemic
 oppression have been banned outright. Ideologies vie for dominance, with reactionary centrism
 and institutional capitulation increasingly evident. Gaslighting plays a central role in our politics
 (academic, national, and beyond), but it is virtually unacknowledged within our science. At the
 same time, diamonds are formed under pressure. Our collective reckoning brings with it the
 potential for non-incremental improvements in our ability to assess, diagnose, and treat patients.
 These improvements arrive in the form of opportunities for paradigm shifts, particularly those
 involving acknowledging the gaslighting our field perpetuates; resourcefulness in conducting
 research; values-realignment; coalition-building within and across fields and institutions; and
 dissemination and outreach.
