Hearing (Our) Voices describes two innovative participatory
action research projects - one on communication with medical
professionals, the other on housing - carried out by a group of
people diagnosed with schizophrenia under the guidance of Professor
Barbara Schneider. Participants designed the research, conducted
interviews and focus groups, participated in data analysis, and
disseminated research results through a number of innovative
strategies including theatre performances, a documentary film, a
graphic novel, and a travelling exhibit.
Emerging from these projects is the central and significant
finding that people diagnosed with schizophrenia are caught between
their dependence on care and their longing for independent lives.
The research presented in Hearing (Our) Voices points to a way to
resolve this paradox and transform lives through the inclusion of
people diagnosed with schizophrenia in research, in decision-making
about their own treatment and housing, and in public discourse
about schizophrenia.
