3rd Meeting of the International Open Dialogue Research Collaboration 

Keynote: "The Elephant in the Room: If You Don’t Adopt Selective Use of Antipsychotics, Can You Expect Open Dialogue to Produce Good Long-term Results?" with Robert Whitaker

In Tornio, where Open Dialogue was developed, Birgitta Alakare and the rest of the Open Dialogue team used antipsychotics in a manner that minimized long-term use. Yet, as Open Dialogue is being adopted in other countries, the selective use of antipsychotics is not being incorporated as an essential element of the practice. Will this doom Open Dialogue to failure? A review of the evidence.

The 3rd Meeting of the International Open Dialogue Research Collaboration was organized within the HOPEnDialogue project. For further information, please visit our website at https://www.hopendialogue.net/
