Committable Conversations: AOT and the Cult of True Belief
Episode 64
Tuesday, 14 July, 2026

In this episode Committable Collective members Jesse Mangan and Leah Harris discuss Leah’s recent article, ‘Assisted Outpatient Treatment’ and the Cult of True Belief. The article examines narratives around Involuntary Outpatient Commitments and how much of the discourse around these policies seems to be driven by an ideology that prioritizes belief over evidence.
