Her efforts, her fight, and her endurance have meant that many women are more able to fulfil their potential than ever before. For that we thank them, and we honour them.

Recovery in Mental Health
Winner of Medical Journalists’ Association Specialist Readership Award 2010 Recovery is widely endorsed as a guiding principle of mental health policy. Recovery brings new rules for services, e.g. user involvement and person-centred care, as well as new tools for clinical collaborations, e.g. shared decision making and psychiatric advance directives. These developments are complemented by new proposals regarding more ethically consistent anti-discrimination and involuntary treatment legislation, as well as participatory approaches to evidence-based medicine and policy. Recovery is more than a bottom up movement turned into top down mental health policy in English-speaking countries. Recove...

Understanding Mental Disorders
Understanding Mental Disorders aims to help current and future psychiatrists, and those who work with them, to think critically about the ethical, conceptual, and methodological questions that are raised by the theory and practice of psychiatry. It considers questions that concern the mind’s relationship to the brain, the origins of our norms for thinking and behavior, and the place of psychiatry in medicine, and in society more generally. With a focus on the current debates around psychiatry’s diagnostic categories, the authors ask where these categories come from, if psychiatry should be looking to find new categories that are based more immediately on observations of the brain, and whether psychiatrists need to employ any diagnostic categories at all. The book is a unique guide for readers who want to think carefully about the mind, mental disorders, and the practice of psychiatric medicine.

Recovery
Hoffnung macht Sinn - das ist die Essenz der Recovery-Bewegung. Hier werden von Betroffenen initiierte Genesungs-Konzepte und Erfahrungen mit Schizophrenie für Betroffene, aber auch als Maßstab für professionelles Handeln, bereitgestellt. Prof. Michaela Amering und Dr. Margit Schmolke sehen die großen Chancen, die von dieser Bewegung und einer personenzentrierten Behandlung bei Psychosen für die Psychiatrie ausgehen. Schizophrenie ist heilbar, so lautet die mit Daten der Verlaufsforschung belegte Botschaft des Buches. Es ist das Verdienst der Autorinnen zu zeigen, wie die persönlichen Erfahrungen von an Schizophrenie erkrankten Menschen zur Konzeptbildung in die wissenschaftliche Psychiatrie integriert werden können.
