Here are some of the questions I am currently interested in:

• Are we responsible for our beliefs? In what circumstances are we to be blamed for having false or irrational beliefs? 
• How does a psychiatric diagnosis affect personal narratives of mental health service users? In particular, does it change the way they experience and describe their agency?
• What is the best account of the demarcation between mental health and mental illness? In particular, what distinguishes pathological from non-pathological cognitions?
• What is the best psychological theory of delusion formation? Can the two-factor theory and the prediction error theory be reconciled? 
• Are positive illusions and unrealistic optimism good or bad for us? Do they increase wellbeing? Do they support agency? In which circumstances are they detrimental?
