Psychiatrization, assertions of epistemic justice, and the question of agency
Thus far, the concept of epistemic injustice in the context of psychiatry has been discussed more widely by clinical academics than by authors with personal experience of psychiatrization. It is from the latter perspective that I critique the practice of attributing testimonial injustice solely to the "stigma against mental illness", and point to psychiatric diagnosing itself as a principal enabler and re-producer of this form of injustice. In re…

Drawing on developments in Disability Studies and in relation to the social model of disab…
Psychiatry disrupted
With the release of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fifth edition (DSM5; American Psychiatric Association 2013), psychiatry has already done much to disrupt itself. The pr
Between exclusion and colonisation
The omnipresent psychiatric narrative of mental illness has always had its counter-narrative – the life stories of people labelled mad. The relationship between these two accounts has always been one of domination: mad voices have been – and continue to be – not heard, overwritten, silenced or even erased in the course of psychiatric treatment. As survivor researchers who have had these kinds of experiences, we wish to discuss parallels between t…
Mental health service users in research
This is the third book to engage with the topic of research by academics who identify as mental health service users/psychiatric survivors, and the first one to step clearly outside the field of me
