Introducing Richard Lakeman

Hello and welcome! I am a psychiatric nurse and psychotherapist by professional background. I am presently working as a Senior Lecturer at   Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast. I am the course coordinator for SCU-Online postgraduate mental health programmes. 

I set up this site to share a little about myself and some of the work that I have been involved in. There are quite a lot of resources on this site that you may download. I have written and presented on topics such as psychotherapy, professional ethics, pharmaco-centrism, using the internet in mental health care, clinical supervision, discrimination, suicide, hearing voices, dealing with death and mental health recovery.

You may be interested in software packages to assist with learning drug calculations and creating and administering on-line tests and research instruments.

You are very welcome to explore these pages and where possible I have provided links to resources which you are welcome to use.
