    Summary

    Contributory injustice, a type of epistemic injustice, occurs in psychiatric services, particularly impacting individuals who hear voices. Addressing this requires dialogue between clinicians and service users, valuing their unique frameworks for understanding mental distress.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Epistemology
    • Social Science

    Background:

    • Epistemic injustice, specifically contributory injustice, is a recognized issue.
    • Psychiatric services can be sites where this injustice occurs.
    • Individuals who hear voices are particularly affected.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explain contributory injustice within psychiatric services.
    • To argue that individual clinician efforts are insufficient to combat this injustice.
    • To propose a collaborative approach involving clinicians and service users.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of contributory injustice.
    • Argumentation regarding the inadequacy of individual clinician efforts.
    • Proposal for dialogue and integration of service user frameworks.
    Keywords:

    Main Results:

    • Contributory injustice is identified as a problem in psychiatric settings.
    • Sole reliance on individual clinician efforts is insufficient for mitigation.
    • Meaningful dialogue and integration of service user perspectives are necessary.

    Conclusions:

    • Mitigating contributory injustice requires systemic change, not just individual effort.
    • Clinicians must engage with and respect non-medical frameworks for mental distress.
    • Collaboration with service user organizations and individuals is crucial for equitable psychiatric care.
