This manuscript has been provisionally accepted for publication at Nature Mental Health. Please cite as: Hallion, L. S., Lorenzo-Luaces, L., Crowell, S., Gruber, J., Boisseau, C. L.., Perillo, A. D., Perillo, J. T., Delawalla, C. (in press). Crises and opportunities for psychological science under fascism. Nature Mental Health. Abstract Psychopathology research and treatment is at a crucial juncture. Particularly within the United States, funding for scientific research has been cut drastically; academic freedom is under attack; and efforts to diversify our workforce and mitigate our field's contributions to systemic oppression have been banned outright. Ideologies vie for dominance, with reactionary centrism and institutional capitulation increasingly evident. Gaslighting plays a central role in our politics (academic, national, and beyond), but it is virtually unacknowledged within our science. At the same time, diamonds are formed under pressure. Our collective reckoning brings with it the potential for non-incremental improvements in our ability to assess, diagnose, and treat patients. These improvements arrive in the form of opportunities for paradigm shifts, particularly those involving acknowledging the gaslighting our field perpetuates; resourcefulness in conducting research; values-realignment; coalition-building within and across fields and institutions; and dissemination and outreach.

Psychological science is in crisis. We are losing funding, fighting uphill against censorship, and watching as our students, colleagues, neighbors, and friends are attacked because of their nationality, gender expression, or skin color. Such is life under fascism. 2/9

Crises for the field include funding cuts, censorship, DEI dismantling, gaslighting, reactionary centrism, and extreme mindsets. Opportunities we identify include paradigm shifts, dismantling traditional hierarchies, values re-alignment, public outreach, and resourcefulness.

Congratulations to my wonderful grad student Bryn Manns who successfully defended her master's today on emotion malleability beliefs across bipolar spectrum disorders and clinically diagnosed bipolar individuals. Woo-hoo!

Beyond grateful for two-grants in one-week (will never happen again!) to study affective trajectories of adjustment in diverse emerging adults (NSF) and positive emotion predicting onset and course of mood difficulties in emerging adults (NIH) with the best collaborators in town!
