Service user entrepreneurs and claims to authority – a case study in the mental health area
Mental health service user movements have historically to a large extent employed collective forms of mobilisation, where people with service user experience have joined in formal organisations or informal groups.

This article introduces the concept ‘service user entrepreneur’ (SUE), that rela…

Participatory Spaces of Mental Health Service User Organizations in the Post-deinstitutional Era
By applying the concept of participatory spaces, this article maps and analyzes current research on mental health service user organizations (MHSUOs).

This article describes this development in Europe, and in particular how these new conditions have been handled in Sweden over the past 20 years at the level of governmental policy‐making. Three major policy documents from 1994, 2009 and 2012 were included in this stu…

Case management for people with psychiatric disabilities in rural Sweden; experiences from the implementation of a national policy
The aim is to analyse the implementation of a case manager-model in rural Sweden. A sample of 15 case management teams was selected. Written materials were collected and interviews on location were carried out.
