“They Told Me The Pills Were Safe” : Understanding the Experience of Iatrogenic Injury from Psychiatric TreatmentJohansson-Everday, Amelia January 2023 (has links)
Iatrogenic injury resulting from psychiatric treatment represents a critical concern within the healthcare system and causes great harm to the afflicted individuals. This study delves into the multifaceted dimensions of iatrogenic harm attributed to psychiatric treatment, with a focus on the interplay between trust, accountability and recognition, and the social and relational experience of receiving treatment that ends up causing harm. The erosion of trust in psychiatric medicine on part of the individual, stemming from instances of iatrogenic injury where professional and systemic accountability was perceived as inadequate, challenges the foundation of the relationship between individual and treatment provider as well as the relationship between the individual and the psychiatric system. To mitigate this erosion, it is imperative to understand the factors that contribute to the individual’s lack of trust, in order to promote open communication and informed decision-making in psychiatric treatment. In that sense, being afflicted with iatrogenic injury is an inherently social experience. Furthermore, central to this study is the emphasis on recognizing the individual narratives of those who have experienced iatrogenic injury, as each individual’s unique circumstances and personal stories offer valuable insights into the human impact of medical maltreatment, and centering their experiences can contribute to a broader discourse on psychiatric care reform. This study underscores the need for a holistic re-evaluation of psychiatric treatment practices, where recognition of the individual’s experiences and open discussions on the limitations of psychiatric treatment are at the forefront. Ultimately, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue surrounding iatrogenic harm and the need for different pathways that improve the safety and quality of psychiatric care by focusing on the individual’s inherent right to control the process of undergoing psychiatric treatment and the right to not be harmed.
