Current research

Psychosis and the Therapeutic Relationship

My current vignette study explores perspectives on the relationship between therapists and people with psychosis. This is an important and under-researched area that can shape how therapy is experienced.

The study invites adults with current or past experience of psychosis to share their perspective through a 25-minute online survey.
