For example, Awais recent blog post criticises Jo for her methods rather than necessarily actually what she says. I worry that the clash between Joanna Moncrieff and Awais Aftab about her new book Chemically imbalanced has become too personal (see eg. last post ). In many ways, how Jo expresses her critique is irrelevant.

This blog is called Thinking differently about mental health.
