We’re trying to improve support for people with acquired brain injury (ABI) experiencing suicidality or self-harm. If you’re an adult with ABI who has faced mental health challenges, or a clinician/researcher, please consider completing our survey: redcap.helix.monash.edu/surveys/?s=D...

Our study on the prevalence and clinical significance of sensory changes following TBI (n=387) is now published open-access in Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine. 🔓 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @merrcresearch.bsky.social

🚨Check out our new paper led by @jaicarmichael.bsky.social We argue that @hitop-system.bsky.social has significant potential in clinical practice but to facilitate wider translation it must be presented as standing on its own two feet. 🔗https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fabn0001004

We're still inviting people with ABI, close others (Australia), clinicians, & researchers (worldwide) to share their experiences & needs around suicidality and self-harm after ABI. Conversations so far have been incredibly valuable and deeply appreciated. redcap.link/x2n3c8wr

Reminder: Our call for papers on transdiagnostic approaches in neuropsychology with @theJCEN is open! Letters of intent are due in a few days—you don't need to have results finalised yet, just let us know you're interested! think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issu...

And our second qualitative study is now out—this time focusing on the perspectives of six clinical neuropsychologists who delivered the interventions. Open access here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Translating clinical psychology research to practice could improve mental health care but it is challenging. Researchers often frame the problem in terms of uptake failure by clinicians. But are they doing clinically useful research? In press, American psychologist osf.io/preprints/ps...

I had the privilege of speaking with 20 people with ABI about their experiences of psychological treatment for sleep & fatigue. Their accounts help us understand how psychology can help & what to consider going forward. Open access: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @merrcresearch.bsky.social

Pleased to share this prepublication Viewpoint w/ @drdarrenhaywood.bsky.social, accepted in JoPaCS. We argue that HiTOP's marketing to clinicians can be improved by focusing on its intrinsic strengths, rather than framing it as a corrective to the DSM/ICD. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Call for submissions to the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology special issue on transdiagnostic approaches in neuropsychology. Deadline is May 1. Details here: think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issu...

🚨 Call for Papers! 🚨 Thrilled to be co-editing a special issue in the JCEN with Silvana Mareva and Matt Calamia on transdiagnostic approaches in neuropsychology. Learn more & submit your letter of intent by 1 May: 🔗 think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issu... @lisarapport.bsky.social

🚨 New preprint! 🚨 We explored suicidal ideation after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury. Findings suggest emotional dysregulation, coping style, resilience, & cognitive difficulties are linked to suicidality through symptoms of depression & anxiety. 🔗 Read more: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Interesting new review explores how metabolic dysfunction may contribute to mood and anxiety disorders post-TBI, but concludes further research is needed. Biological contributors remain poorly understood—despite the intrinsic biological nature of TBI. doi.org/10.1016/j.ar...

New systematic review finds allied health interventions have the potential to reduce challenging behaviour in people with ABI. Most interventions use an individualised, positive behaviour support framework to modify the environment and increase self-regulation skills. doi.org/10.1071/IB24...

Can people intentionally change their personality? Happy to share that our review on volitional personality change research has now been published at Nature Communications. Open-Access-Link: doi.org/10.1038/s442...

I would add: be sensitive to the purpose this diagnosis is serving in ur clinical context (is this your way of saying that this is a “difficult patient” or your way of recognizing deeper recurrent dynamics beneath mood issues to guide treatment) & whether the patient finds the diagnosis acceptable…

We’ve received funding to develop resources addressing suicidality & self-harm after ABI. 🔎 Stage 1 involves scoping interviews with: - ABI survivors & close others (Australia only, for now) - Clinicians/researchers (esp. keen to hear from those less experienced). Please share with your networks!

Hi everyone - it is lovely to join Bluesky! We at Monash Epworth Rehabilitation Research Centre (MERRC) conduct research to maximise functional, psychological, and social outcomes following brain injury. More information at our website: www.monash.edu/medicine/psy... #TBI #braininjury #neuropsych

I’m honoured to be launching this comprehensive briefing paper on FND neuropsychological and psychological management, across the lifespan, with a UK focus but global relevance - thanks to my fantastic colleagues on the Division of Neuropsychology Policy Unit working group 👏👏👏

We've started working on a #Neurorehabilitation Starter Pack to help researchers, clinicians, and other professionals in the field get connected. Please reply or message to be added to or removed from the list. We're excited to see a growing neurorehab community here! go.bsky.app/4Vgz8Kz

#PsychSky - a global community of psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health professionals, people w lived experience, policy folks & anyone else interested in the brain - is growing! Follow starter packs I & II below. Just say if you want to be added 🧠 go.bsky.app/C36fgiD go.bsky.app/3UH1pKc

We now have Pack III underway ! go.bsky.app/CVJ1byu

These data are super consistent with a theory we published recently arguing that the ventral pathway may be best described as a basis set of local visual features (like DNNs), and may not compute global object properties like shape. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Remember, if you see posts/accounts here on Bluesky that you think are interesting to your followers, you need to *share* them - clicking “like” is not enough to get them promoted up the algorithm like it does in the other place.

Super happy to share HERE our new analysis paper in @bmj.com "Fragile promise of psychedelics in psychiatry" with Cédric Lemarchand,Raphaël Chopin,Morgane Paul, Alain Braillon, Lisa Cosgrove, @ioanaacristea.bsky.social , @eikofried.bsky.social and @eturnermd1.bsky.social. www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Testing out this starter pack thing - if you research #TBI, #concussion, or #subconcussive impacts and want to join the list let me know! go.bsky.app/LjSDGQQ

I’ve started a starter pack that I will continue to expand that I hope represents the UK #neurorehabilitation community. I am looking for collaborators to update this who might not represent my position - a white, male, ‘professional expert’. Ideally experts by experience. go.bsky.app/GuSZ8Pn

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Quick thread for my latest paper, now out in Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science (JoPACS). APA hell link here: psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-... We used IRT in the NESARC and found that impulsive sex and chronic suicidality as indicators of BPD criteria are biased in sexual minorities 1/n

Not sure if I’m doing this right, but I’ve had a go at starting a ‘Reconceptualising psychopathology’ starter pack (e.g., HiTOP, RDoC, dynamic systems, clinical staging). Please do send me suggestions or requests to be added! go.bsky.app/Pek9ycQ

I may just start putting my bsky handle when submitting and see 🦋 Need more journals to migrate over though.

For anyone interested, I wrote this piece recently: www.thetransmitter.org/sex-differen... #Alzheimers #womensbrainhealth

👋 folks! My name is Sam (she/her), I am a 2nd year PhD student at UF 🐊. My research is focused on IPV-caused TBI in women and SGM survivors, prevalent multimorbid conditions, and how this ultimately impacts recovery/resilience outcomes. #HiSciSky #AcademicSky #PhDSky #feministscholars #WomenInSTEM 🛟

Our long didactic paper on #network analysis, written with many of the amazing scientists that work in the field is finally out in IJMPR and open access ! It was a long and collaborative effort two years in the making, but, it was worth it! Please repost onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT: The final results of my PhD suggests a formulation based model for assessing mood in people with cognitive and receptive communication impairments after severe brain injury. Read more here ⬇️ journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Perfect time to share our new preprint as we transition to 🦋! We surveyed 387 people, shining a light on the clinical significance of sensory changes after moderate-severe TBI. These issues remain under-researched in terms of assessment, mechanisms, & treatment. 👁️👂🏼👃🏼😵‍💫🧠 osf.io/preprints/ps...

#HiSciSky 🦋, I’m a recent PhD grad, brain injury researcher, & neuropsychology registrar. Right now, my main research projects aim to develop a brain injury-tailored measure of mental health & supports for self-injury. Clinically, I’m interested in psychiatric disorders, dementia, & their overlap.

I wrote about psychiatric diagnosis for Psyche magazine — what it means & what it doesn’t mean. If you are looking for a no-nonsense general intro to diagnosis in mental healthcare or you are grappling with your own diagnosis, this is the piece for you. psyche.co/ideas/what-a...
