Had a COVID test this morning for some mild cold symptoms so putting myself to bed with some light PhD related reading: Kay Redfield Jamison’s memoir about her experiences as a psychiatrist with #livedexperience.
#phdlife #GetTested #StayHome
Correction, KRP not a psychiatrist but a clinical psychologist & professor in psychiatry department.
Love this description of her own psychiatrist.
The value of her and other’s #livedexperience is evident in her descriptions of the research & training program she created as director of the UCLA Affective Disorders Clinic.
Her descriptions of support from the chairman of the psychiatry department also reflect the importance of supportive managers... although a bit less paternalism would be nice 😉
The Mouseheart factor is a beautiful description of negative responses of colleagues to the sharing of #livedexperience reported by some mental health professionals.
Don’t be a Mouseheart!
So, I’ve just managed to catch a cold in stage 4 lockdown 🙄
