− | The experiences of 'normal' people who do not have formal training are still very valuable however. For all the training that a clinical psychologist may have in understanding conditions such as [[Acquired Brain Injury]] or [[Schizophrenia]], it is a totally different experience if you actually are experiencing that condition personally. A secondary, but equally important aspect of the Psychology Wiki will be to include experiences of people who use psychology services. |

+ | Here at Psychology Wiki we recognize that individuals whom are experiencing (or have experienced) a mental illness can contribute in important ways, as feeling the symptoms of [[depression]] can be very different than reading about them. Even though a clinical psychologist may have spent years learning about conditions such as [[Acquired Brain Injury]] or [[Schizophrenia]], it is very different to experience them. Additionally, an individual whose partner or relative (for example) has/had a mental illness can contribute in many ways as well. Their perspective is very valuable. The effect of living with a mentally ill individual has been the subject of many studies, and continues to interest mental health professionals. |

||
+ | Because of these reasons, and many not mentioned here, individuals without formal training have a valuable contribution to make here, and are most welcome. A secondary, but equally important aspect of the Psychology Wiki will be to include experiences of people who use psychology services. |
