The BPS’ Fauzia Kahn talks to leading psychologists and critics Lucy Johnstone, James Davies, Rufus May and Alan Kessejian about their views, how they came to them, and how their work illustrates their strongly-held belief that we need better mental health systems.

‘We are engaged in something much more complex than a debate about the evidence’ – Lucy Johnstone 

‘The medical model has presided over four decades of flat-lining outcomes’ – James Davies

‘If not now then when, and if not you then who?’ – Alan Kessedjian

‘I was a rebel without a cause before my breakdown… I saw psychology as an avenue to change things’ – Rufus May
