Gaslighting could happen to anyone who trusts the wrong person, a McGill University researcher says. Willis Klein, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Psychology, was part of a team from McGill and the University of Toronto that developed a new theoretical model with which to understand how manipulators are able to make their targets question their sense of reality over a period of time.

What makes an admission to a mental health unit a more or less traumatic experience, and what role do nurses play in this experience? A study recently published in the Journal of Clinical Nursing focuses on a question that is as sensitive as it is little explored: the perception of quality of care as a factor that can make a big difference in mental health care.

Patient preference studies (research into what patients value in their treatment) are increasingly used to inform drug development and regulatory approval decisions. But these studies are expensive and time-consuming to conduct. Yet, their results are rarely used beyond their original purpose. Researchers from the University of Twente, in collaboration with international colleagues, identified opportunities to reuse findings from existing studies, thereby improving resource usage during patient-focused drug development.

Inpatient psychiatric care has dramatically shifted to large for-profit chains, according to new research from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The researchers found that the total number of inpatient psychiatric beds barely changed from 2011 to 2023. But behind the stable headline figure lies a dramatic shift: a decline in beds at general hospitals offset by a rise in beds at standalone psychiatric facilities—particularly those owned by large for-profit chains.
