This book is about people that are uniquely situated between the
realms of activism, within the Psychiatric Survivor Movement, and
their careers as mental health professionals. It focuses on the
co-authors' navigation and juxtaposition of the roles of
psychiatric survivor, mental health professional, and
activist.Psychiatric Survivors is an international movement
advocating for human rights in mental health systems and supporting
humane and effective alternative options to mainstream practice for
help-seeking. Drawing on past research as well as the co-authors'
own experiences, the volume explores identities of people who
identify as both psychiatric survivors and mental health
professionals, discussing the potential for further dialogue
between psychiatric survivors and mental health professionals to
create humane and person-centred communities of healing. This book
is specifically targeted for practising psychotherapists and
graduate students, to gain new insight into the Psychiatric
Survivor Movement and to appreciate the value of lived experience
and of psychiatric survivors' efforts shaping the future of mental
health care.
