The simplest answer to the question of ‘What do we do instead of diagnosing people?’ is ‘Stop diagnosing people’. The argument that we need a fully worked-out alternative system before we can abandon something that is admitted to be non-valid, even by the people who invented it, is, in my view, a complete red herring. And the simplest current alternative is to ask people what their problems are, and start from there.” Lucy Johnstone, A Straight Talking Introduction to Psychiatric Diagnosis, PCCS Books 18

MENTAL HEALTH AND MADNESS Straight Talking Introductions Series These accessibly written introductions aim to distinguish fact from fiction in the mental health field. Many key ideas in psychology and psychiatry are just that – ideas. The problem for professionals, students and the public alike is that these ideas have been passed off as fact for so long, and so unremittingly, that they are commonly thought of as certainties. Written by notable experts in their respective fields, these inexpensive and thought-provoking books are ideal for students considering current debates and critical thinking in mental health, as well as practitioners, psychiatric service users, carers and indeed everyone with an interest in mental health. The Straight Talking Introductions will arm you, your students or your clients with clearer understandings of where fact ends and myth takes over. Prepare to be surprised.

This work was only made possible because I found the reasons, the courage and, ultimately, the words to break a deathly silence – the silence imposed on us by expert psychiatric discourse and chemical treatment. Most importantly, I found other people who wanted to hear these complex and unpleasant stories, who were capable of taking them as they were, and who trusted my version of reality even when I couldn’t really express it.” Jasna Russo, Searching for a Rose Garden, PCCS Books 28

SURVIVOR AND SERVICE USER PERSPECTIVES Our Encounters with… Series ‘I write from an emotional stance that highlights my multiple interpretive positions. Physicians and therapists keep readers at a distance. I invite you to come close and experience this world for yourself.’ (Tillmann-Healy, 1996: 79–80). This is what the Our Encounters series is about – personal narratives both of people who have suffered mental health problems and the people who cared for them. Subjective views from the vantage point of experience as opposed to scholastic and detached discussions about these experiences.
