Failure to provide sufficient translational Research & Medicine is a Justice Issue

12/11/2025

Val's Take: In a complex society, there are many different "types" of "players."

Mental Health is bringing into HIGH RELIEF that we do not have sufficient TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH & MEDICINE.

We can't just add this onto the duties of traditional Researchers or Clinicians. To mix my metaphors ---switching to baseball -- we can't ask people to play both PITCHER and SHORT-STOP.

This wasn't such a big issue when psychiatric research was relatively STATIC, but now that it is TAKING OFF --- it's a HUGE PROBLEM.

We need UNIVERSITIES, ENTREPRENEURS & POLICYMAKERS to address the need for greater and more useful Translational Research & Medicine.

The Gap Between Psychiatric Research and Psychiatric Practice: UNTENABLE*

12/8/2025

This Gap is hurting patients globally, but in criminal justice and homelessness the harms are obvious and expensive

Val's Take/Conjecture

There is a general recognition in the research community that PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH is undergoing a PARADIGM SHIFT.

The enormous progress in Psychiatric Research is putting into high relief the need for improved systems of Translational Research and Medicine

as well as the need for more sophisticated Public Health approaches to criminal justice and homelessness.
