Le terme advocacy (mot anglais) désigne un mode d'aide à l'expression de personnes qui s'estiment victimes d'un préjudice, qui se sentent mal écoutées et insuffisamment respectées par leurs interlocuteurs institutionnels, ou qui rencontrent des obstacles à l'exercice de leur pleine citoyenneté. Il s'agit d'une pratique de médiation sociale qui introduit un tiers, amplifiant la demande du patient usager, sans parler à sa place, et qui permet ainsi aux différents points de vue de trouver un ajustement dans un dialogue respectueux. L'association Advocacy-France a pour but de soutenir toutes les formes de recours dans les situations d'exclusion, de ségrégation, de mesures privatives de liberté individuelle. Composée d'usagers et de professionnels de la santé mentale, elle développe des actions collectives, coopératives et solidaires entre tous les acteurs engagés, aussi différents soient-ils, dans leurs statuts ou leur expérience. Dans l'Europe du nord, la pratique de l'advocacy s'est largement développée depuis une dizaine d'années, sous des formes très variées, à travers les collectifs d'usagers ou par l'intermédiaire d'une personne advocate, ou de l'ombudsman. En France, où le stigmate de la maladie mentale est aussi fort et la tradition paternaliste du soin aussi dominante, son introduction semblait une gageure. Les auteurs exposent ici leurs actions concrètes, leurs combats pour convaincre de la crédibilité des objectifs et des moyens mis en oeuvre par l'association.
