Evidence summaries, clinical reflections and open discussion written by mental health professionals: psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, mental health nurses, counsellors, social workers and occupational therapists. Every article is written by someone who does this work, and the discussion underneath it is part of the article.
What you find here
Summaries and critical readings of new research in psychiatry, psychology and psychotherapy
Reflections from everyday clinical work, including the decisions the author would take differently
Comparisons of how mental health care is organised and funded in different countries
Debate between pharmacological, psychotherapeutic and integrative treatment traditions
Ethical discussion about risk, responsibility and professional boundaries
Writing on training, supervision and the constraints practitioners work under
Perspectives from professions more often written about than heard from, including nursing, social work and occupational therapy
Reading is open to everyone. Commenting, saving articles and following a discussion need a free PsychBase account, and any mental health professional can submit their own work for editorial review. Nothing published here is clinical guidance; it is professional discussion between colleagues.
