Convergence science is the process whereby innovation comes from the cross pollination of diverse disciplines, industries and cultures, carrying ideas and approaches across boundaries. This book is a blueprint for how this could and should occur in mental health in order to solve the complex, multi-system problems that the field faces.
Convergence Psychiatry
"The world is in the throes of a global health, economic and mental health crisis with severe physical, societal, and economic ramifications. Modern mental health problems are characterized by their complexity, multi-systemic nature and broad societal impact, making them poorly suited to siloed approaches of thinking and innovation. In order to solve the unprecedented complexities and challenges associated with the current global crisis, a paradigm shift is needed. Convergence science integrates knowledge, tools, and thought strategies from various fields and is the focal point where novel insights arise. In the context of mental health, convergence involves integration of scientists, clinicians, bioinformaticists, global health experts, engineers, technology entrepreneurs, medical educators, caregivers, and patients; synergy between government, academia and industry is also vital. A convergence mental health approach will lead to improved outcomes for patients and health care systems. Predicate examples of convergence science in adjacent fields to mental health provide a model for the path forward. Further, within the field of mental health, there are examples of convergence science currently in action that include early stage companies, neuroscience initiatives, public health projects and unconventional funding mechanisms. The world has a historic opportunity to leverage convergence science to lead to a new era of innovation and progress in global mental health"--
