An essential history of the recovery movement for people with mental illness, and an inspiring account of how former patients and advocates challenged a flawed system and encouraged mental health activism This definitive people’s history of the recovery movement spans the 1970s to the present day and proves to readers just how essential mental health activism is to every person in this country, whether you have a current psychiatric diagnosis or not. In Fighting for Recovery, professor and mental health advocate Phyllis Vine tells the history of the former psychiatric patients, families, and courageous activists who formed a patients’ liberation movement that challenged medical authority and proved to the world that recovery from mental illness is possible. Mental health discussions have become more common in everyday life, but there are still enormous numbers of people with psychiatric illness in jails and prisons or who are experiencing homelessness—proving there is still progress to be made. This is a book for you A friend or family member of someone with serious psychiatric diagnoses, to understand the history of mental health reform A person struggling with their own diagnoses, to learn how other patients have advocated for themselves An activist in the peer-services network: social workers, psychologists, and peer counselors, to advocate for change in the treatment of psychiatric patients at the institutional and individual levels A policy maker, clinical psychologist, psychiatric resident, or scholar who wants to become familiar with the social histories of mental illness

Summarizes findings from the first two phases of a project that identified best practices in mental health reform and strategies for their implementation. The first phase was a critical evidence-based review of the current state of knowledge about best practices relevant to mental health reform, with a focus on chronic and severe mental illness. The second phase was a situational analysis of mental health reform policies, practices, and initiatives in Canada which approximated best practices. The report then addresses the implementation of best practices across entire systems of care. The benefits and timeliness of integrating mental health services are discussed, separation from the rest of health care is described as a necessary developmental stage, and those best practices which should be given priority are identified. Recommendations for action are also provided.
