Abstract

Le patient « bon et docile » n’existe plus. Désormais, le sujet contemporain entend devenir agent de sa santé et refuse de se laisser enfermer dans une simple relation soignant-soigné, vécue sur un mode passif, jusque dans la demande de disposer de son corps. Il s’informe, revendique des droits et entend le faire savoir. En France, la loi dite Kouchner lui garantit, depuis 2002, le droit à accéder à son dossier médical et le devoir des médecins de rechercher le consentement aux soins, tandis que les associations de malades alimentent les forums des sites d’information sur leur vécu. Un seul diagnostic ne suffit plus à notre patient qui recherche des solutions parfois moins conventionnelles, jugées plus en harmonie avec sa propre sensibilité et son vécu. Loin du simple bricolage thérapeutique ou de la pratique occasionnelle des médecines douces, cette tendance – que l’on peut qualifier d’autosanté – devient alors une expérience d’éducation corporelle et de transformation de soi. Le patient fait appel à des pratiques nouvelles, sources d’habitudes, de croyances psychologiques et d’un nouveau style de vie. Il n’est plus patient, mais agent de sa propre médecine, une médecine à la première personne.

Abstract

Consumer-Run Mental Health Framework for Recovery Louis D. Brown Conceived of as an empowering alternative to inpatient treatment and traditional community programs, mental health consumer-run organizations--CROs--offer consumers a hands-on stake in their own recovery. A growing evidence base suggests that CROs are a particularly effective form of self-help, with randomized trials demonstrating CRO participants experience improvements in personal empowerment, social integration, and well-being. Consumer-Run Mental Health explains their methods and analyzes their efficacy.  A robust theoretical framework synthesizes diverse perspectives to illuminate behavioral processes that contribute to recovery and the dynamics of CROs in creating environments that promote recovery. Data from the author's studies of CRO participation highlight consumer perceptions of the benefits of their involvement. An in-depth ethnographic study examines participant’s lives inside and outside the organization. And in a set of remarkable narratives, consumers describe dealing with both mental illness and the tasks of running a non-profit organization, for a fuller understanding of the impact of CRO participation on their lives.  By emphasizing consumer roles within the organization, the book breaks down the mental health CRO experience into these vital topics: ·                    Person-environment interaction within CROs. ·                    Developing empowering and socially supportive roles ·                    Resource exchange, skill development, and identity transformation ·                    Life history narratives: the lived experience of CRO participation. ·                    How organizations influence role development. ·                    The impact of role development on recovery. ·                    Implications for practice. Opening up about rarely-addressed concepts of self-help, Consumer-Run Mental Health is a unique reference for researchers who study peer-run organizations as well as practitioners in community mental health settings who are involved in collaborating with or  supporting CROs.
