View Article  Australia 2009 - ICCHNR Conference

At last - tickets booked!  Flights confirmed and off to Adelaide for the ICCHNR Conference.  My presentation is scheduled for the Wednesday and I now need to get it prepared.....most of the work is done.

Should be a great trip - 6 days in Adelaide, then off to Melbourne for the weekend and then off to Sydney for 10 days.  Flight home is via Singapore with a stopover there for 3 days.........

Can't wait!!

View Article  UCL Seminar

UCL lunchtime seminar last Monday - it went well I think.  There was a reasonable number of people attending and they all appeared interested in the work. The post presentation discussion raised some interesting points for further thought and consideration:

- Actor network theory (Callon and Latour, 1986)
- Self - if people can cope in public, then why not continue to cope when in private?
- Restoration or Cure?  What is the difference?  The difference in this study appears to be antidepressants, no cure if still needing antidepressants.~
- What are the messages to clinicians from this work? An understanding of the problems some people have in stopping antidepressants after long-term use.
- Methodological questions: clarification around the inclusion and exclusion criteria; those groups not included in the interviews may have had a view to discuss; cultural issues.

Thanks to all for attending and for your feedback.
