Unusual experiences and beliefs

During Mental Health Awareness week, we take time to discuss the harms that negative stereotypes can have for people who have unusual experiences and beliefs.

Panelists will include Martino Belvederi Murri (University of Ferrara), Kathleen Murphy-Hollies (University 麻豆精选), and Fiona Malpass (Mind in Camden). The session will be chaired by Lisa Bortolotti (University 麻豆精选).

Martino Belvederi Murri is Associate Professor at the Institute of Psychiatry and Director of the School of Specialization in Psychiatry, working as a clinical psychiatrist in the Acute Psychiatric Inpatient Unit. His research integrates clinical psychiatry with advanced statistical modelling and computational psychiatry, focusing on late-life depression, early psychosis, and psychosomatics. He has a specific interest in depression phenotyping, demoralization, psychosis outcomes, physical activity interventions, cognitive factors, cannabis use.

Fiona Malpass works at Mind in Camden as the Project Development and Innovation Lead, which includes managing the Hearing Voices Projects, working with young people, prisons, forensic settings and immigration removal centres, and the London Hearing Voices network. They have a background in psychology and philosophy of mental health, as well as having personal experience of many forms of distress, including hearing voices. They use this in their work to build connections, as well as to challenge the status quo and provide provocations to ways of thinking and working.

Lisa Bortolotti and Kathleen Murphy-Hollies are philosophers involved in EPIC (2023-2029), a project funded by a Wellcome Discovery Award to study the application of the notion of epistemic injustice to the healthcare context.
