Highlights
This special issue reflects our wish to take into account the recent developments in the research and practice of shared decision making (SDM) in the field of mental health, and share this knowledge with service users, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers interested in SDM in this issue
The research and practice of SDM in mental health has lagged behind general medicine
Explanation for that might be related to the primary care origins of the SDM model (Charles et al, 1997; 1999; Elwyn et al, 1999; O’connor et al, 2006) and to prevalent assumptions related to lack of decision capacity among people experiencing mental ill health (Lincoln, Lullmann and Rief, 2007)
Summary
This special issue reflects our wish to take into account the recent developments in the research and practice of shared decision making (SDM) in the field of mental health, and share this knowledge with service users, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers interested in SDM in this issue. Seven years after the important special issue on the promise of SDM to mental health (Drake et al, 2010), in this special issue we would like to describe the efforts that have been done regarding SDM in mental health and the future steps still needed.
