The integration of narratives of admission and recovery in severe mental illness: what are the key factors associated with therapeutic change following an acute admission
Psychology and Health Service and Population Research Departments
The Institute of Psychiatry has an outstanding international reputation in the field of research, was judged to have the highest research power of any institution submitted to its unit of assessment in the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008 and was awarded the highest (5*) rating in the previous two RAEs (1996 and 2001). Both the Psychology and Health Service and Population Research Department are internationally recognised centres of excellence for mental health research. The project is integrated within an ongoing National Institute for Health Research Program Grant (PERCEIVE) led by Prof Til Wykes. PERCEIVE is a large scale study looking at patient contributions to the evidence base on understanding perceptions of acute care in patients and mental health professionals. A key part of this program is the Service User Research Enterprise (SURE) led by Dr Diana Rose and Prof Til Wykes. The role of SURE is to undertake research from the perspective of people with mental health problems and their carers.
MRC 1+3 PhD Studentship
The studentship provides funding for a four year programme of study leading to the award of a doctorate by research. In the first year, the student will complete the Department's MSc in Mental Health Service and Population Research, which provides a rigorous preparation in research methods and statistical analysis, while at the same time developing a proposal for original doctoral research. Following the masters programme, students will proceed to the doctorate, working under the guidance of Prof. Til Wykes, Dr Vyv Huddy and Dr Diana Rose. This PhD will investigate the interaction between individuals' narrative of admission during an acute episode of illness and the wider recovery narrative in people with severe mental illness. The role that metacognition plays in aligning coherent narratives of recovery and admission will be an aspect of the program of research.
Application
Applicants for the studentship should have, or expect to gain, at least an upper second class honours degree in one of the biological, health, psychological, or social sciences. The studentship stipend will be paid at RCUK rates (currently £15,510 per annum) for the duration of the award and all tuition fees for UK/EU students will be met. Applicants must be eligible for UK/EU fee status and are responsible for checking their status prior to application. More details about eligibility criteria are available at http://www.mrc.ac.uk/Fundingopportunities/Applicanthandbook/Studentships/Eligibility/index.htm
Please note that because this is a unique four-year interdisciplinary course, in the first instance you will be applying online for the MSc year but it is expected that successful applicants proceed to the PhD. This is not a Master's only programme.
