If you truly believe that social media platforms are harmful places, the idea that the government now makes a list of vulnerable people and bans them from these platforms, e.g. based on age, is not a sensible or good faith solution.

Regulate the platforms instead, for everybody.

What Your Genes Really Control - new podcast interview on The Early Perspective open.spotify.com/episode/5iVC...

Carney in Davos:

Un plaisir de retrouver le congrès de l’#Encéphale2026 et de démarrer avec la toujours superbe session du Big5 de la littérature !

If our theories have to do with people's daily experience then we really need to know how well we're measuring daily experience.

So we need more of what Kevin's team is doing here! Just because your item has the right words in it doesn't mean you know what it measures, or how well.

Innovations to improve outcomes and uptake of psychotherapies for mental disorders: a state‐of‐the‐art review Psychotherapies have been found effective in the treatment of most mental disorders. However, substantial improvements are still much needed, and many innovations of therapies are currently being dev...

Many innovations of psychotherapies are currently examined. See our overview in the last issue of World Psychiatry: (1) Digital interventions (2) Personalized treatments (3) New/ improved therapies (4) Dissemination

Most of psychotherapy research is progress, not innovation. This review concludes that small, incremental benefits can arise from it:
- Digital tools can increase access and engagement.
- Personalization can improve response rates.
- Simplified, scalable formats can reach more people.

When psychologists mislead us From Piltdown Man to the Stanford prison experiment, many famous scientific discoveries have been exposed as hoaxes or distortions

"The rewards to 'discovering' a spectacular scientific finding [in psychology] are large; the rewards to debunking frauds or deflating exaggerated claims are small if not non-existent. If these are the rules of the game, we should not be surprised at the way the game is played."

The three "waves" of psychotherapy are often described as historical fact, which is astonishing when you consider that they represent the distorted and sometimes straight up incorrect view of a single individual (Hayes).

Just learned I've won the APA Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions to Psychology in the area of psychopathology, and am feeling pretty delighted!! So grateful to @aidangcw.bsky.social for nominating me, and very proud of the work it's based on.

Did not think I'd witness a Nature journal publish a piece calling the US a fascist country in the title / abstract.

Thanks to Lauren and the rest of the team for picking up this crucial fight — in this paper and elsewhere. Please read and share widely.

Hommage de l'Afis à Jacques Van Rillaer

This is a great paper on scale norming that also presents a really nice discussion of how people come up with their responses to surveys, and how that can change over time. One read of it has me wanting to put it into my assessment syllabus already.

Table ronde enregistrée au REC22 avec Jacques Van Rillaer (Professeur émérite de psychologie à l'université de Louvain) et Franck Ramus (Directeur de Recherche CNRS, laboratoire de Sciences… Qu'y a t'il de nouveau et de bon dans la psychanalyse ?
