From Psychiatric Patient to Citizen by Liz Sayce
Based primarily on research in the US and UK but with reference to other international examples, it analyses evidence of discrimination and the effectiveness of different remedies: disability discrimination law, work to re-frame media and cultural images, grassroots inclusion programmes, challenges to the 'nimby' factor.
'This is a well written, 'tour de force' about how people with mental health problems might become more included in social and economic life, rather than marginalised and treated with suspicion' - Disability and Society 'Liz Sayce offers a sensitive and helpful discussion of identity.' - Peter Beresford, Cambridge University Journal
