I’m pleased to link to a new co-authored commentary (just published) written with my colleagues Mona Shattell and first author Summer Schrader! 
None of us were completely satisfied with the final draft, but the issue of ‘mad’ identity is extremely fraught and its complexities impossible to adequately cover in such a short space. This is nevertheless a start with (hopefully) more to come!
Oooo this is exciting! I can’t wait to read it! Congratulations!
This is a very thoughtful post in the context of guiding established psychiatry to better practices.If only there was support ,funding,,and legal standing for survivors to build alternatives based on their lived experience rather then the broken, unfixable, deadly ,failed established psychiatric ,medical ,pharmo ,juggernut whose bootheel crushes the life and spirit of billions of people with no mercy for even the youngest around the planet as it tenacles grow to engulf every free space and living creature.
