Alternatives Beyond Psychiatry
(Ex-)users and survivors of psychiatry, therapists, psychiatrists, social scientists, lawyers and relatives report about their alternative work, their objectives and successes, their individual and collective experiences. +++ These are the main questions addressed by the 57 authors from all five continents: What helps me if I go mad? The book highlights alternatives beyond psychiatry, current possibilities of self-help for individuals experiencing madness, and ways to offer humane treatment.
How can I protect myself from coercive treatment? How can I find trustworthy help for a relative or a friend in need? 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?
