Interviews: conversations with the people who build and study psychiatry
Some of what's worth knowing about the profession only comes out in conversation. This section talks with psychiatrists, researchers, founders, and leaders about how the work actually gets done.
Interviews are where shrinkiatry talks with psychiatrists, researchers, founders, chairs, authors, and technologists about how the work gets done. They're edited for clarity and clearly separated from reported articles and opinion. Interviewees speak for themselves.

Why interviews
Reported articles and digests stick to what's established. Conversations add something different: how the work feels from inside, what a founder learned, what a researcher thinks the data misses. That's what this section is for.
How they're handled
Interviews are edited for clarity and length, and clearly distinguished from reported articles and from opinion. Interviewees speak for themselves; their views aren't the network's. For the founder's view of building independent telepsychiatry, see Shariq Refai.
Common questions
Who do you interview?
Psychiatrists, residents, researchers, founders, chairs, authors, and technologists, anyone whose work helps explain how the profession operates and where it's heading.
Do interviewees' views represent shrinkiatry?
No. Interviews are edited for clarity, and interviewees speak for themselves. Their views aren't the network's.
