Nothing like an interview on eMental Health to make you feel important

I’m still reeling from the festivities surrounding my H-index increase from 3 (“aggressively mediocre“) to 4 (“impressively flaccid but with mounting tumescence“)*. Best gift I got: a sad, weary stare from my colleagues. Yay! But back to eMental Health (booooo hisssss).

Some while back I did an interview (in Dutch) with Anja Greeven from the Dutch Association for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy [Vereniging voor Gedragstherapie en Cognitieve Therapie] for their Science Update newsletter in December 2015. It’s about life, the universe and everything; but mostly about eHealth and eMental Health; implementation (or lack thereof), wishful thinking, perverse incentives (you have a filthy mind) and that robot therapist we’ve all been dreaming about (sorry, Alan Turing).

Kudos to me for the wonderful contradiction where I call everyone predicting the future a liar and a charlatan; after which I blithely shoot myself in the foot by trying to predict the future. In my defense, I never claimed I wasn’t a liar and a charlatan. It was great fun blathering on about all kinds of things, and massive respect to Anja who had to wade through a 2-hour recording of my irritating voice to find things that might pass as making sense to someone, presumably.

Anyway, the interview is in Dutch, so good luck Google Translating it!

*) Real proper technical sciencey descriptions for these numbers, actually. The views expressed in this interview are my own; and nobody I know or work for would ever endorse the silly incoherent drivel I’ve put forward in this interview.
