An Anthropological Study of Peer-Supported Open Dialogue


About Us
Led by David Mosse (SOAS, Department of Anthropology), we are a team of anthropologists from SOAS and Durham Universities, and clinical professionals from the NHS, involved as practitioner-ethnographers of the Open Dialogue approach to mental healthcare. Some of us have personal lived experience of mental distress, both as service-users and carers.
