Here are some of the questions I am currently interested in:
What roles do stories play in public debates? How should we assess stories that contribute to an argument?
Do we need the notion of disorder to demarcate the scope of medicine?
Are we responsible for our beliefs? In what circumstances are we to blame 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 distinguishes pathological from non-pathological cognitions?
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?
