Lucy Johnstone

4.9/5 (9491 ratings)

Description:Do you still need your psychiatric diagnosis? This book will help you to decide. A revolution is underway in mental health. If the authors of the diagnostic manuals are admitting that psychiatric diagnoses are not supported by evidence, then no one should be forced to accept them. If many mental health workers are openly questioning diagnosis and saying we need a different and better system, then service users and carers should be allowed to do so too. This book is about choice. It is about giving people the information to make up their own minds, and exploring alternatives for those who wish to do so."Rigorously researched, powerfully argued and engagingly written, this thoughtful and valuable book empowers readers with something too often missing in statutory care-the knowledge and resources to make an informed choice". Eleanor Longden, Psychosis Research Group, University of Liverpool"Making sense of personal experiences promotes hope, strength and recovery. This is the message from Lucy Johnstone as she carefully deconstructs psychiatric diagnosis and adds personal stories as evidence". Dirk Corstens, Psychiatrist, Chair of Intervoice"A probing, balanced and refreshingly clear introduction to the realities of psychiatric diagnosis and the useful alternatives that now exist to help those in distress".
