Who knows what? Experiential knowledge in mental health care
Start a new DMP in Loading
Experts-by-experience are increasingly common in mental health care. The intuition behind this is that they have unique insights due to their experiences of illness and recovery. However, what such ‘experiential knowledge’ consists of remains unclear, making it difficult to determine the exact role of experts-by-experience. This project combines theoretical ideas from epistemology and phenomenology with a qualitative study on stories submitted to the ‘Psychiatry Story Bank’ by (former) patients in mental health care, in order to establish a conceptually sound view on experiential knowledge that can serve as a basis for determining the role of experts-by-experience in mental health care.
