This book aims to show the value but also the difficulties
encountered in the application of 'insider knowledge' in service
user research. Mental health service users in research considers
ways of 'doing research' which bring multiple understandings
together effectively, and explains the sociological use of
autobiography and its relevance. It examines how our identity
shapes the knowledge we produce, and asks why voices which
challenge contemporary beliefs about health and the role of
treatment are often silenced. An imbalance of power and opportunity
for service users, and the stigmatising nature of services, are
considered as human rights issues.Most of the contributors to the
book are service users/survivors as well as academics. Their fields
of expertise include LGB issues, racial tensions, and recovering
from the shame and stigma of alcoholism. They stress the importance
of research approaches which involve mutualities of respect and
understanding within the worlds of researcher, clinician and
service user/survivor.
