WE’VE BEEN TOO PATIENT: VOICES FROM RADICAL MENTAL HEALTH- STORIES AND RESEARCH CHALLENGING THE BIOMEDICAL MODEL
Book ID/图书代码: 09802019C00012
English Summary/英文概要: 25 unflinching stories and essays from the front lines of the radical mental health movement
Overmedication, police brutality, electroconvulsive therapy, involuntary hospitalization, traumas that lead to intense altered states and suicidal thoughts: these are the struggles of those labeled “mentally ill.” While much has been written about the systemic problems of our mental-health care system, this book gives voice to those with personal experience of psychiatric miscare often excluded from the discussion, like people of color and LGBTQ+ communities. It is dedicated to finding working alternatives to the “Mental Health Industrial Complex” and shifting the conversation from mental illness to mental health.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 来自激进心理健康运动前线的25篇坚定的故事和文章
过度用药、警察暴力、电休克疗法、非自愿住院、导致精神状态剧烈改变的创伤和自杀念头:这些都是那些被贴上“精神病”标签的人的挣扎。虽然有很多关于我们的精神卫生保健系统的系统性问题的文章,但这本书让那些有过精神卫生保健不当的个人经历的人,比如有色人种和同性恋群体,发表了自己的看法,而这些人往往被排除在讨论之外。它致力于寻找替代“精神健康产业综合体”的工作方式,并将话题从精神疾病转移到精神健康。(WYL)
Awards/获奖情况:“正义是不可能的,除非我们为边缘的故事留出空间。还有什么能比把光投射到心灵的边缘更有力的说明呢?《我们过于耐心》粉碎了耻辱,取而代之的是尊严、自主和权力。这本选集预示了我们混乱的、激进的、神经分化的大脑的必要性,这样我们就可以唤起一个我们再也不必被迫“过于耐心”的世界。"——索尼娅·蕾妮·泰勒,活动家,《身体不是用来道歉:激进的自爱的力量》一书的作者
“没有什么比一个在某一领域有丰富经验的人的主张和想法更有说服力的了,这本书就是证明。这些见解和想法对一些人来说可能是激进的,但任何有过精神疾病和/或自杀经历的人都可以看到,这实际上是一个迟来的、非常合理的请求,它要求基本的人类尊严、同情、支持和社区意识。我们应该这样对待受苦的人。无论你是一个深爱的人,一个受苦的人,一个政治家或一个精神健康工作者,请阅读它。”——喜剧演员、《欢乐时光》节目主持人保罗·吉尔马丁
“这本书的信息通过将我们移出生物医学模式的有限范围来尊重每个人的思想和身体的多样性。需要传播这一信息,以消除当前精神卫生系统中根深蒂固的污名、标签和病态。我同意这本书的观点:一个不以强制治疗为默认的心理健康系统,人们选择服务和支持,因为他们服务于自己定义的需求。这将是一个系统,不减少人们的化学不平衡,但看到他们的整体无数的需要和影响。《我们过于耐心》让我们所有人对精神健康产生了本质上不同的看法。”——莎莉·津曼,消费者运动的先驱,加州心理健康协会的执行董事
