“You don’t know what it’s like!” Exploring the epistemic role of Experts-by-Experience in mental health care
Start a new DMP in Loading
Expertise-by-Experience is increasingly influential in (Dutch) mental health care. However, the precise contribution of Experts-by-Experience is unclear, due to an epistemological dilemma at the heart of the concept of experiential knowledge: either it is a distinctively new form of knowledge in being subject-dependent but then becomes non-generalizable, or it is generalizable but no longer subject-dependent. This project aims to (i) employ tools from philosophy to resolve or sidestep this dilemma by scrutinizing the concepts underlying it, and (ii) establish a network of researchers, clinicians and Experts-by-Experience to share the results of this project and fuel further research on this topic.
