Gosselin (2019) argues that biomedicalization commits epistemic injustices against these persons and consequently entraps them in a “cycle of vulnerability”; in response, she proposes principles of justice to defend them from such affronts. This paper builds off of her work and responds particularly to the demand for a “sociocentric view of the self as essentially relational.” I present a theory of interdependent agency and affiliation that I contend conceptually bolsters her normative principles. I explain how an expanded use of relational epistemologies, united with a non-ideal theory of mental health, can enrich our hermeneutical resources with respect to those with mental illnesses/disorders. My account introduces normative considerations premised on interdependency, most notably from care theory. Concepts such as vulnerability, relational autonomy, attentiveness, and responsiveness ground a relationally-situated approach that (1) improves the epistemic positionalities of patients, (2) informs more suitable dynamics of care/treatment, and (3) unites groups of mutually interested actors against harm and injustice. I thus use a framework of care to promote affiliations of similarly disadvantaged persons under shared causes and initiatives. I refer to these assemblages as “caring affinity networks.”}, journal={Social Philosophy Today}, publisher={Philosophy Documentation Center}, author={Respess, Shaun}, year={2023}, pages={51–69} }

Early teletherapeutic initiatives demonstrate an immediate set of benefits for patients including improved access to care, reduced costs, better schedule flexibility, greater environmental familiarity, and higher rates of patient engagement. Notable limitations to TMH include enhanced privacy concerns, the variable digital literacy of certain populations/persons, and technological instability. However, other limitations regarding therapeutic relationships, experiences, and settings have gone undertheorized and are not sufficiently represented in the current research. This chapter surveys these considerations and argues that digital medical interventions are unable to effectively replicate the same degree of ‘contact' and ‘intimacy' available in physical care; providers should therefore be cautious in wholly replacing in-person methods or in implementing a standalone paradigm of digital care.}, journal={Advances in Human and Social Aspects of Technology}, publisher={IGI Global}, author={Respess, Shaun}, year={2021}, month={Nov}, pages={1–15} }

These guidelines are designed by and for medical professionals to locate and promote the best evidence-based treatments. Clinicians suggest that a widespread application of substantiated treatments will curtail trends of increased despair, but there are a wider range of ethical and socio-political limitations that are not always immediately addressed in these assessments. Issues regarding social stigma, control and normalization, diverse life stressors, and disproportionate access to resources are often diluted in depictions of treatment efficacy. Consistent interpretations of the concepts illness, disorder, health, recovery, and need are also lacking. In this paper, I unravel the limitations of several leading evidence-based treatments and propose principles of care as preconditional commitments for future practice. This analysis specifically assesses treatment options for depression and anxiety. In response, I argue that clinical practice guidelines require a deeper engagement with the theoretical foundations of prominent therapeutic models and must consider the effects of those premises beyond controlled treatment sessions. I recommend more substantial collaborations with mental health sociology and bioethics, with a particular emphasis on care ethics. L’augmentation du nombre de personnes déprimées, anxieuses et suicidaires aux États-Unis a conduit à une demande accrue de directives de pratique clinique. Ces lignes directrices sont conçues par, et pour les professionnels de la santé, afin de localiser et de promouvoir les meilleurs traitements fondés sur des preuves. Les cliniciens suggèrent qu’une application généralisée de ces traitements réduira les tendances à un désespoir accru, mais il existe un éventail plus large de limitations éthiques et socio-politiques qui ne sont pas toujours immédiatement abordées dans ces évaluations. Les problèmes concernant la stigmatisation sociale, le contrôle et la normalisation, les divers facteurs de stress de la vie et l’accès disproportionné aux ressources sont souvent dilués dans les représentations de l’efficacité du traitement. Des interprétations cohérentes des concepts de maladie, de trouble, de santé, de rétablissement et de besoin manquent également. Dans cet article, je dévoile les limites de plusieurs traitements fondés sur des données probantes de premier plan et propose des principes de soins comme engagements conditionnels pour la pratique future. Cette analyse évalue spécifiquement les options de traitement pour la dépression et l’anxiété. En réponse, je soutiens que les lignes directrices de pratique clinique nécessitent un engagement plus approfondi avec les fondements théoriques de modèles thérapeutiques de premier plan et doivent tenir compte des effets de ces prémisses au-delà des séances de traitement contrôlées. Je recommande des collaborations plus substantielles avec la sociologie de la santé mentale et la bioéthique, avec un accent particulier sur l’éthique des soins.}, journal={Ethics, Medicine and Public Health}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Respess, S.}, year={2020}, month={Oct}, pages={100532} }

Fuchs presents a clear and explicit question to arm his analysis, namely: What is authoritarian capitalism and how is it communicated through social media? Using the contemporary parameters of the candidacy and presidency of Donald Trump, along with the complex phenomenon that is its supporting ideology, he explores the relationship between political communication and new nationalism to expose the dangerous marriage between authoritarianism and capitalism in prominent positions of power. This review charts Fuchs’s unique journey through critical theory and digital texts while responding to its ambitions both as a revitalized account of the critical theory tradition and as a cautionary tale of contemporary political movements. I primarily present his book as a sobering examination of the problematic entanglement of radical capitalism, authoritarian politics, and rapid communication strategies while remaining optimistic that it will influence several scholars to apply his theories as a potential strategy for positive liberation and/or contestation moving forward.}, number={1}, journal={Spectra}, publisher={Virginia Tech Libraries}, author={Respess, Shaun}, year={2019}, month={Mar}, pages={47} }
