Jim van Os
Jim van Os (born 1960) is a Dutch psychiatrist.
He studied medicine in Amsterdam, psychiatry in Jakarta, Casablanca, Bordeaux and London, and subsequently epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Living mostly in Bilbao, Spain, he is professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology at the Department of Psychiatry and Neuropsychology, Maastricht University and visiting professor at the Division of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, DeCrespigny Park, London, United Kingdom.
In 2009, van Os proposed to abolish the diagnosis of schizophrenia due to lack of validity and instead introduce a new entity, "salience dysregulation syndrome",[1] citing previous work by other researchers that explains psychosis as aberrant salience regulation.[2]
