There are too many mental health practitioners, educators, researchers, policy makers, and decision makers that are far removed from the realities that psychiatric survivors experience. They pronounce their understanding, but reinforce a medical/labelling model that reinforces victimization. Patricia Deegan is not one of them. After being diagnosed with Schizophrenia at the age of 18, many mental health experts told her that she should focus on medication and surviving. However, she decided to make her own path to recovery and ended up receiving a doctoral in clinical psychology. Patricia has become an international scholar in the area of mental health recovery. Every mental health worker, police officers, and decision makers should read up on her work.
