Special issue call for papers from Journal of Mental Health Training, Education and Practice

The guest editors of the Journal of Mental Health Training, Education and Practice are seeking manuscript submissions for a special issue to publish in 2016.

About the Journal
The Journal highlights critical issues in educating and developing a skilled, healthy and committed mental health workforce. Primarily UK-focused, the Journal also draws upon international experience, reflecting common global challenges as well as the scope for international learning and development. This double blind peer-reviewed journal takes a broad interdisciplinary approach and acknowledges that all mental health disciplines have an important role in workforce development. Integral to this approach is the meaningful involvement of service users and their families.

Call for Papers
Now that lived experience and the importance of patient and public involvement (PPI) in mental health research is accepted, and indeed mandatory in NIHR-funded research, the time is right to take stock of what has been achieved in a relatively short time-span. These papers will demonstrate the significant contribution of lived experience perspectives to research and explore the implications of such research for service development.

The journal is seeking research articles, case studies and narrative accounts, viewpoint papers, reviews or literature reviews and critical conceptual articles covering (but not limited to) the following:
• Examples of PPI in research and the impact of the research on service delivery
• Education and training related initiatives in relation to PPI in research
• Co-production approaches and the involvement of the third sector
• An emphasis on recovery and peer support

The editors would welcome papers written jointly by authors with lived and professional experience.

Submission instructions
• Manuscripts should be between 3,500 and 6,500 words and formatted according to the journal author guidelines.
• Submissions must be received by 1st February 2016 via the online submission system Scholar One Manuscripts.
• Authors should indicate which themed issue their finished manuscript is for from the dropdown list on Scholar One Manuscripts.

Unlearning through Mad Studies: disruptive pedagogical praxis

Posted by Jill Anderson on October 26, 2020 at 19:00 0 Comments

Medical discourse currently dominates as the defining framework for madness in educational praxis. Consequently, ideas rooted in a mental health/illness binary abound in higher learning, as both curriculum content and through institutional procedures that reinforce structures of normalcy. While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.

This paper offers Mad…
