Mad in Ireland: Fields of Healing

Open Dialogue, it hasn't gone away you know


Listen Later

When we consider much of the recent mainstream news coverage and indeed government bypassing of due process in relation to legislation and the reiteration by psychiatric soap boxes of the need for enhanced coercion in mental health, one might imagine that all notions of personhood, self autonomy, choice and voice by people with mental health challenges are being overridden. Whilst this onslaught against personhood and autonomy is rife, beneath the veneer of media bias and misguided government action, there is clearly a rising tide that seeks to embrace the international mandated paradigm in mental health that overrides and indeed has condemned outdated harmful psychiatric practices to the annals of historic cruelty.

On the cusp of this tidal wave, Open Dialogue as an evidence based human rights based approach to mental health care in therapeutic intervention floats across oceans to many many lands, even Ireland. Most people that may be reading and listening to this will have some idea what we mean by open dialogue and Mad In Ireland have described it elsewhere  when publishing  on the effectiveness of the West Cork Open Dialogue approach as the service was withdrawn a few years ago. The effectiveness of Open Dialogue Approaches in its purist form and indeed in a more pragmatic dialogical practice form is probably indisputable at this stage, though there are critics who argue for more randomized controlled trials to be sure to be sure.
