The Opal Project is a participatory action research project based in New York, NY. Conducted through the Ph.D. program in Environmental Psychology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, the project aims to explore and address issues related to shock treatment and psychiatric care. The project involves advocates and activists with psychiatric histories who offer their ideas and perspectives on the subject.
Through its research and publications, including the Journal of Radical Psychology, The Opal Project seeks to raise awareness and advocate for a scientific safety investigation of shock treatment, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The project challenges the lack of evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of ECT and calls for the implementation of clinical trials to ensure proper regulation of this medical procedure.
