Translating clinical psychology research to practice could improve mental health care but it is challenging. Researchers often frame the problem in terms of uptake failure by clinicians. But are they doing clinically useful research? In press, American psychologist osf.io/preprints/ps...

🌟 NEW PREPRINT: Adolescent self-diagnosis of mental disorders: An interview study of clinicians’ perspectives (N=16) Concerns over self-diagnosis are increasing, but research is limited. What do clinicians think about this phenomenon, and do they think it impacts therapy? tinyurl.com/4zkz7nyh /1
Abstract
Background: Concerns over self-diagnosis of mental disorders amongst adolescents have been increasing, but very little empirical research exists to understand what clinicians think about this phenomenon or how it might impact psychological therapy.
Method: Semi-structured one-to-one interviews were conducted with 16 mental health professionals, exploring their experiences with and attitudes towards self-diagnosis of mental disorders in adolescents. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. 
Results: Five themes were generated. The first two focused on factors contributing to the rise in self-diagnosis: (1) Self-diagnosis stems from an inherent need to be understood and (2) Access to diagnostic language has proliferated. The latter three focused on the impact of self-diagnosis on therapy: (3) Self-diagnosis is meaningful therapeutic material; (4) When adolescents feel validated, self-diagnosis often fades over time; and (5) Self-diagnosis becomes a barrier to change when it is inflexible.
Discussion: The study indicates that, in most cases, clinicians do not consider self-diagnosis as problematic and report it can sometimes help understand the adolescent’s concerns. However, our study also supports concerns about harm to the individual when self-diagnosis is inflexible, and how self-diagnosis could be harmful on a population level if it trivialises psychiatric language and suffering. These findings suggest the need for careful management of self-diagnosis in clinical settings and addressing public discourse that promotes self-diagnosis.

My experience is that often a reviewer may be highly qualified to comment on some aspects, eg as content/topic expert, but has little competence on other aspects, eg methodology. Would be great if editors could assign reviewers to different roles related to the manuscript.

I think over the next few years the evidence will continue to accumulate that the majority of mental disorders are best treated with short, highly intensive therapies. This will challenge many assumptions on how therapy works.

#SPROttawa2024 here we come Inspired by a structured discussion from last year, @milahall.bsky.social & I will explore in our workshop what an equitable #OpenAccess publishing model in #PsychotherapyResearch could look like. How about an intro read about costs? f1000research.com/articles/10-20
Workshop title:
How to establish an equitable, open access publishing model for psychotherapy research.

Full-Day workshop with Mila Hall, Christoph Flückiger, and Rocío Manubens. The topic of open access publications has been around for a bit more than 20 years, including relevant options for psychotherapy researchers. Although access to research results is generally deemed crucial for promoting evidence-based practice and encouraging research-practice exchange, open access publishing models remain hotly debated. In this full-day workshop, we aim to introduce the audience to pertinent issues in scientific publishing, particularly focusing on those involved in making research accessible. Though accessibility issues can refer to a variety of topics (such as public reach, comprehensibility, topics related to disability justice), we will restrict ourselves for the day to accessibility as being “able to be retrieved without barriers”.
