New research from the Collaborative Centre! We’re pleased to share that Dr Kay Wilson’s latest article, “What do the social determinants of mental health mean for psychiatry, psychology and law?”, has now been published as an open access article in the interdisciplinary journal Psychiatry, Psychology and Law. Kay’s work explores how factors like housing, poverty, discrimination, education and working conditions shape mental health — and what this means for clinical practice, training, and the role our professions play in shaping policy and systems. A central insight from the paper: “Context about people’s lives can no longer be treated as background detail — it must sit at the centre of assessment, treatment and care.” The article highlights practical steps clinicians and legal professionals can take — from embedding social determinants assessments into routine practice and strengthening interdisciplinary teams, to using their influence to drive legal, policy and systemic reform. It’s an important reflection on how a more balanced biopsychosocial model can strengthen prevention, practice and advocacy. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gnpF2887
