Inside Out, Outside In
«'This is a very welcome book. At a time when the biomedical ideology that informs the majority of mental health work across the planet is crumbling before our eyes, the need for positive examples of alternative approaches is great. The initiatives described in these diverse chapters are united by a commitment to a way of working in mental health that is based on relationships, values and finding meaning. They demonstrate that critical mental health practice is not simply about deconstructing current orthodoxies but is also about opening up new pathways to recovery and new ways of understanding mental health and healing' - Dr Pat Bracken, independent consultant psychiatrist; 'I would encourage anyone wanting to learn more about the limitations of current mental health care, and what to do about it, to read this book.' - Bob Diamond, clinical psychologist.»

This has led to the development of powerful structures, `mental health systems', that have dominated thinking and practice around mental health and been controlled by the psychiatric profession.
