Track: Mental health

Person-centered care has revolutionized healthcare, yielding significant results in various medical fields. While these principles align well with mental health needs, research in this area has been limited in comparison to other fields. In recent years, there has been progress in narrowing the gap - a shift welcomed by NGOs which have long advocated for a person-centered approach that prioritizes what matters most to the individual and focuses less on organizational aspects. This symposium offers an up-to-date overview of mental health research and practice in Sweden, showcasing person-centered approaches from diverse disciplines. The panel includes representatives from NGOs, GPCC's Person Council, healthcare professionals, and researchers, and aims to discuss co-creating person-centered mental healthcare across multiple contexts. Examples of topics: What research has been conducted in this field? What sets person-centered mental healthcare apart, if anything? What key considerations are there when constructing person-centered mental healthcare? Are there specific areas within mental health where person-centered care might be less appropriate or effective? How does GPCC's research progress compare to international research and achievements? What lies ahead for the future of person-centered mental healthcare?

I’ve been clinically active within psychiatry for >20 years, mainly in care for persons with psychotic disorders. I conducted research on the implementation of PCC in psychosis care between 2015-2022 which was the base for my dissertation called Exploring person-centered care in acute psychosis care settings. I’m now working clinically with first-episode psychosis care, and current research includes interventions to promote person-centred meetings and exploring strategies to reduce involuntary care.
