“We are made by relationships. Most meaning, as well as suffering, is found in relationships. Our entire sense of self only makes sense within the context of relationships.” @orestiszavlis.bsky.social 👇🏽

“… the idea that there is a general latent entity, ‘personality,’ that causes difficulties in self-relating and other-relating. In my eyes, this idea is both empirically and conceptually untenable…” @orestiszavlis.bsky.social 👇🏽

How Accurate & Consistent are Self-Report responses via Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) in Ecological Momentary Assessment & Digital Studies? Examined in a massive EMA study (N = 3,761), our new #OpenAccess piece on this is just out: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky 🧵:

Accuracy and Consistency of Visual Analog Scales in Ecological Momentary Assessment and Digital Studies

The ubiquity of digital technologies has increased assessments of thoughts, behaviors, and experiences via electronic devices. Surveys on smartphones or laptops often implement Visual Analogue Scales ...

New: Labour plans to cut disability benefits instead of imposing a wealth tax. Ben Jennings’ cartoon nails it. A government that fines disabled people while letting the rich park wherever they want—both literally and politically.

ALT TEXT: A political cartoon by Ben Jennings (dated 13.03.2025) depicts a disabled parking enforcement officer issuing a fine to a small grey car parked in a designated blue badge holder space. The car has a valid blue badge displayed, yet a penalty charge notice is stuck to its windshield. Meanwhile, a bright red sports car with the number plate “W3A L7H” is parked in the adjacent disabled bay without a blue badge, but it goes entirely unchallenged by the officer. The background features a brick wall with a “Blue Badge Holders Only” sign. The cartoon highlights hypocrisy in enforcement, suggesting disabled people face unfair scrutiny while those with power or privilege are ignored.

First, we provide evidence that increasing public support for redistributive policy (the CTC) across racial/ethnic and partisan lines is possible with well-designed messages that center shared values, describe policy efficacy, and include a call to collective action.

Can you help me build a list of things that are (or might be) wrong in the current HiTOP model while I'm sick and recovering on the couch? Some of my top hunches are: -My PhD was wrong (☹️) and low sexual function shouldn’t be neatly nested under internalizing 1/2

The current official HiTOP model - a hierarchy of dimensional psychopathology constructs ranging in breadth from superspectra at the top down to individual signs, symptoms, and maladaptive behaviours at the bottom (as well as a list of disorders and related constructs that are linked to the subfactors and spectra)

I just want to say for the record that I am not against preregistration. I understand the usefulness of registration for a priori hypothesis testing. I support any measures for improving our science.

I think one of the things I found so frustrating about Morgan’s story is how professionals completely ignored the idea that a PD is supposed to be a consistent pattern of behaviour, and labeled her based off how she acted in a crisis. I have a lot to say about this bc I see it too often 💬

RIP Morgan Betchley, a 19-year old lovely young woman and an amazing mum. As ever when #ActuallyAutistic, there is scant regard or formal assessment. Thanks as ever to the amazing @georgejulian.bsky.social for the coverage tinyurl.com/44x43z2s and INQUEST. #AutismNotPD Fourth such inquest this year.

"The diagnosis of EUPD is often given to women who are deemed to be hormonal, or hysterical, or considered to be constantly up and down or attention seeking. If that were the case Morgan and Dominic hardly ever had an argument ... they went through all that and ostensibly had a really loving kind relationship with no drama or trauma. They wouldn't have been able to do that if Morgan had an inherently unstable personality disorder"

TW: suicide Why I will never call an NHS crisis line again: "I ain't going to coroner's court for you & neither will your therapist, the trust, or the ambulance service. You have capacity". Then she (NHS rapid response service) hung up the phone on me. This was seconds after a suicide attempt.

The health outcome is not determined by how many patients go to Accident & Emergency. The health outcome is whether patients receive good care. It is far from clear that triaging patients by phone to services with lengthy waiting lists achieves this.

This article discusses a new pilot project involving mental health nurses answering 999 emergency calls, which has reportedly led to a 40% reduction in people experiencing mental health crises being admitted to Emergency Departments (EDs). Anne-Marie Scott, one of the mental health nurse practitioners participating in the programme, is featured in the story.
