NOTA BIOGRAFICA: John Read
John Read is a
psychologist and mental health researcher from England.
He is Professor of Clinical Psychology in the University of East London's School of
Psychology.
Read was formerly a clinical psychologist in the Department of
Psychology at the University of Auckland. His research
interests include: attitudes towards 'mental illness', psycho-social causes of psychosis,
and the role of the pharmaceutical industry in psychology.[1]
Before joining the University in 1994, Read worked for
twenty years as a manager of mental health services, working with people
experiencing psychosis. He is the Editor of the journal Psychosis
and is on the editorial boards of two other journals. He is also on the
Executive Board of the International Society for the Psychological Treatments
of Schizophrenia. Read is the editor of Models
of Madness: Psychological, Social and Biological Approaches to Schizophrenia
(Routledge, 2004) which has sold over 10,000 copies and been translated into
Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. In 2010 he received the New Zealand
Psychological Society’s Sir Thomas Hunter Award for ‘excellence in scholarship,
research and professional achievement’.[1][2]
In 2010, Read and Richard Bentall co-authored a literature
review on "The effectiveness of electroconvulsive therapy" (ECT). It
examined placebo-controlled studies and concluded ECT had minimal benefits for
people with depression and schizophrenia.[3] The authors said "given the strong
evidence of persistent and, for some, permanent brain dysfunction, primarily evidenced
in the form of retrograde and anterograde amnesia, and the evidence of a slight
but significant increased risk of death, the cost-benefit analysis for ECT is
so poor that its use cannot be scientifically justified".[4] Psychiatrists,
however, sharply criticized this paper in passing by calling it an "evidence-poor paper with an anti-ECT agenda".[5]
