“…Where? Winklers ' and Daniels' (in Csordas [1994]) articles on rape and torture, and the client movement in mental health care as it struggles to reformulate what it means to live with a psychiatric disorder (Deegan, 1993;Boevink et al, 2002) show how unspeakable events can eventually be described in terms that can be understood by others and are acceptable to the speaker. To talk about these matters is an act, and a different act in different situations.…”

Enacting Appreciations: Beyond the Patient Perspective

2005

The "patient perspective" serves as an analytical tool to present patients as knowing subjects in research, rather than as objects known by medicine. This paper analyses problems encountered with the concept of the patient perspective as applied to long-term mental health care. One problem is that "having a perspective" requires a perception of oneself as an individual and the ability to represent one's individual situation in language; this excludes from research patients who do not express themselves verbally. Another problem is that the idea of "talk" as a representation of the world ignores the fact that talk is also performative in the world: it requires, at least, the ability to deal with an interview situation. To think up alternative ways of including patients as subjects in research, I develop an approach that takes this performativity as a starting point. Analysing practical situations and activities, I argue that patients enact appreciations, making known what they like or dislike by verbal or non-verbal means in a given material environment, in situations that are co-produced by others. Thus, subjectivity is linked to situations and interactions, rather than just to individual characteristics; to "patient positions;" rather than "patient perspectives".

“…There is ample evidence to suggest that CPs establish strong bonds with clients (Mowbray, Moxley, Jasper, & Howell, 1997), and that CP case managers engage clients more successfully (Felton et al, 1995), especially those who refuse the services of nonconsumer staff (Dixon, Krauss, & Lehman, 1994). CPs use their personal knowledge to offer resources and coping strategies that help clients reach their goals (Nikkel, Smith, & Edwards, 1992), and adeptly establish a mutual agreement on goals related to recovery (Deegan, 1993;Warner & Polak, 1993). Consequently, clients may be more satisfied with CP services (Dumont & Jones, 2002).…”

“…Peer support enables the assumption of roles lost due to mental illness (Davidson et al 1999;Deegan 1993). It provides hope in one's recovery and leads to greater life satisfaction through extension of social network and interconnectedness (Herman et al 2005).…”

Peer support facilitates recovery. However, little is known about the role of peer support within the Clubhouse model. This article reports on Clubhouse members' experiences of peer support and the outcomes they identify from engaging in this phenomenon. Grounded theory guided the study design involving 17 semi-structured interviews conducted with 10 Clubhouse members. Constant comparison and open coding were undertaken to identify underlying concepts within transcripts. A conceptual model of peer support was derived from Clubhouse members' experience. Four levels of peer support emerged: Social inclusion and belonging; shared achievement through doing; interdependency; and at the deepest level, intimacy. Peer support within Clubhouse is a multi-layered construct in terms of depth and nature of relationships. Clubhouse appears to contribute a unique tier within the layered construct of peer support. This tier is based on the sharing of achievement through working together on shared tasks within the work-ordered day Clubhouse structure.
