A basic component of many social interactions, trust is especially vital within the context of severe mental illness. The heightened uncertainty and vulnerability of psychosis provides researchers a crucible within which to examine a number of questions central to contemporary theoretical debates around the nature of trust. Empirically analyzing how trust between users and providers of mental health services develops or falters, Patrick Brown and Michael Calnan ground these abstract concerns in concrete reality and shed new light on how best to assist this vulnerable population.
