Alternatives Beyond Psychiatry
The great book of alternatives to psychiatry around the world
Vorwort von Robert Whitaker, herausgegeben von Peter Stastny und Peter LehmannThe book highlights alternatives beyond psychiatry, current possibilities for self-help for individuals experiencing madness or depression, and strategies toward implementing humane treatment. Sixty-one authors - (ex-) users and survivors of psychiatry, therapists, psychiatrists, lawyers, social scientists and relatives from all five continents - report about their alternative work, their objectives and successes, and their individual and collective experiences. +++ These are the main questions addressed by the 61 authors from all five continents: What helps me if I go mad or depressive? How can I find trustworthy help for a relative or a friend in need? How can I protect myself from coercive treatment? As a family member or friend, how can I help? What should I do if I can no longer bear to work in the mental health field? What are the alternatives to psychiatry? How can I get involved in creating alternatives? Assuming psychiatry would be abolished: what do you propose. instead of psychiatry?
