Less than one week to go until we welcome Dr Chloe Campbell from University College London, as this year's guest speaker for Spectrum and RANZCP Victorian Branch's Annual Jo Beatson Lecture. Chloe will address us on epistemic trust, which refers to personally significant knowledge communicated by others. Its absence is linked with developmental psychopathology and vulnerability to mental disorder. Evidence is emerging that the development of epistemic trust may underpin effective psychotherapy for those with epistemic mistrust or elevated levels of epistemic credulity. Few tickets left.
