This area is intended as a portal to all User Experiences. These experiences will also be linked to from relevant topics, e.g. Depression experiences will be linked to from the article Depression.
Introduction
This section is intended as an overview for the type of experiences which users of the Psychology Wiki have chosen to share. The list below links to the articles relating to peoples experiences, the index of those particular experiences and also the service users page for that experience type.
If you want to contribute a your story or experience to the Psychology Wiki, please follow the instructions below:
- 1) Log in and create a user name.
- 2) Add this link somewhere on your User page: [[User:YOUR-USERNAME-HERE/Experience]].
- 3) Once the page from that link is working, use that page to write your experience.
- 5) We will then protect your story/experience page so that other people cannot change it. We will also add category tags so that people can find it easily, as well as the rose background, so people know its an experience page.
If you are new to Wikis and Wiki editing, please see the Beginner's Guide to Wiki's.
Your experience will then appear in the Index/Category page for the relevant experience. For example, if you wrote about depression and alcoholism, then the experience will appear in both of those categories. If you wrote about a course of CBT that you attended to overcome these problems, then the experience will also appear in that Index/Category page.
We hope you enjoy sharing your experiences with other users of this site and that you find reading the other experiences here to be beneficial.
Experiences Purpose
The idea is that through sharing one anothers stories we can learn how best to cope with illnesses such as depression, as well as learning ways in which other people have recovered. It is entirely possible to comment on these experiences on that Users talk page, but the experiences themselves will be protected by an administrator, so that other people cannot edit them.
Confidentiality, Anonymity and Withdrawal
Users who submit experiences to the Psychology Wiki will at all times remain anonymous and their experiences will be treated with total confidentiality. Note that Alias user accounts will be allowed, if an existing contributor wishes to share an experience anonymously.
Once the experiences are uploaded to that User's page, the user can request that an Administrator protect the page from further edits. This is recommended as it prevents other users from changing the content. The administrators at the Psychology Wiki reserve the right to edit experiences for spelling, grammar and structure. They also reserve the right to remove experiences which are in any way offensive, racist, sexist or in any other way inflammatory to other persons or groups.
The user who submitted an experience can at any time ask for the experience to be withdrawn from the site. To do so, please login and leave a message with an administrator, who will then delete the experience from our records.
