Synopsis

There has been a major development in social science research: it is now being carried out by people who had previously only been seen as its subjects. At the forefront are people with experience as mental health service users/survivors who have taken a lead in pioneering a new approach to research which is now commanding increasing attention and respect. "This is Survivor Research" for the first time details this important new approach to research. Written and edited by leaders in the field, the book explores the theory and practice of survivor research, provides practical examples of survivor research and offers guidance for people wishing to carry out such research themselves. This is a groundbreaking book for policy makers, researchers, educators, students, service users and practitioners in the mental health field and beyond, many of whom must address user involvement in their research.

Revue de presse

... an important and timely publication. Clearly written, comprehensive, interesting, useful, this is a book anyone concerned with survivor research should have readily to hand. --Peter Campbell, mental health system survivor

This book marks the coming of age of user- and survivor-led research. It maps out the why, what and how of an important strand of research whose influence is growing in strength. It needs to be read by researchers, policy makers and the wider mental health community to increase understanding of the impact and integrity of user- and survivor-led research. --Paul Farmer, Chief Executive, MIND

The authors of this pioneering book spell out in every chapter the ways in which research in mental health can [deliver benefits] in every respect by the direct participation of service users. Underlying this recently achieved consensus is a basic challenge to the traditional way that biomedical resesearch has been undertaken. These arguments for service user-/consumer-/survivor-led or participatory research are powerfully argued, strongly justified, and persuasively marshalled in this very important addition to the literature. --Graham Thornicroft, Professor of Community Psychaitry and Head of the Health Service Research Department, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London
