Epistemically suspect beliefs (ESBs) have deleterious effects on public health, social policy, political processes, and consensual understandings of the world. Although distinct fields' independent attempts to document and intervene on ESBs have yielded progress, increased cross talk with disciplines less regularly included in discussions and initiatives could accelerate innovation and translation of acquired knowledge into effective interventions. To encourage a more interdisciplinary, efficient, and effective approach, this commentary highlights insights and research directions that become apparent when integrating field-specific approaches and findings with the unique but relatively neglected perspective on ESBs offered by clinical psychology and psychiatry.
