Epistemic Trust in Psychopathology: Current Findings and Future Directions
We are thrilled to welcome Dr Chloe Campbell from University College London, as this year's guest speaker for Spectrum & RANZCP Victorian Branch's Annual Jo Beatson Lecture.
Chloe will address 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.
We are indeed privileged to have Chloe Campbell, international authority on epistemic trust, enlighten us on this clinically important, perhaps revolutionary concept. There will be ample time for audience questions and discussion following the lecture.
