Addressing Epistemic Injustice in Mental Health
Epistemic injustice was conceptualized by Fricker as a form of social injustice, which occurs when people’s authority ‘as a knower’ is ignored, dismissed, or marginalized. It is attracting increasing interest in the mental health field because of the asymmetries of power between people using mental health services and mental health professionals. People experiencing mental health distress are particularly vulnerable to epistemic injustice as a consequence of deeply embedded social stigma, negative stereotyping, and assumed irrationality. This is amplified by other forms of stereotyping or structural discrimination, including racism, misogyny, and homophobia. Consequently, individual testimonies may be discounted as both irrational and unreliable. Epistemic injustice also operates systemically reflecting social and demographic characteristics, such a race, gender, sexuality or disability, or age.

To become a competent social worker it is essential to know the perspective of the service users. Therefore, service users are more and more included in field research projects and the instruction of social workers to-be. However, they are usually reduced to the role of informants and not actively taking part as co-partners. For the first time, this anthology gives an overview of courses in which service users and students share their experiences and work together on the same level using gapmending methods. The applications and evaluations of these courses in different European countries are discussed in this volume.

Against this background, Horizons of Security accounts for historical patterns of integration from the specific point of view of welfare and security among the Somalis in Scandinavia. Drawing on qualitative interviews with the Somali diaspora, the book explores how the Somalis are experienci...
Drömmen om Ester
"Hör ni det alla! Jag är den största konstnären!" utropar Ester Henning när hon tvångsintas på Katarina sjukhus 1916. Ester växer upp bland sju syskon alldeles i närheten av Anders Zorns gård i Mora, börjar tjäna som piga och flyttar så småningom till Stockholm. Hon skriver in sig vid en konstskola, arbetar som syflicka om dagarna, gömmer lera i fickorna och skulpterar om nätterna. Hon tar sig nästan in på männens arena, innan bakslaget kommer. Efter tiden på Katarina sjukhus kommer hon att tillbringa resten av sitt liv på olika institutioner, i gränslandet mellan dröm och verklighet. Drömmen om Ester är en poetisk romanfantasi, löst spunnen kring konstnären Ester Hennings liv och verk.

Vad hjälper? Vägar till återhämtning från svåra psykiska problem
De flesta människor som drabbas av svåra psykiska problem återhämtar sig helt eller delvis. Det betyder inte att man nödvändigtvis blir fri från alla symtom utan kan innebära att man trots allt hanterar dem och lever ett acceptabelt liv. Bland läkare och vårdpersonal och även bland dem som själva har psykiska problem finns en utbredd pessimism om möjligheterna att återhämta sig. Men forskningsresultat motsäger detta. Vad hjälper människor med svåra psykiska problem att återhämta sig? Vad gör de själva, och vad kan andra – professionella, anhöriga, närstående – göra för att bidra till denna process? I boken kopplas individernas – brukarnas – erfarenhetsbase...
