Abstract

This narrative is the result of the author's long standing interest in the mental health consumer/survivor movement and its implications for social work practice. Her primary purpose is to raise awareness on the part of human service professionals about this movement by giving voice to the experiences and perspectives of consumer/survivors. A number of narratives are woven together, based on in-depth interviews with movement leaders and participants. Implications for social work practice are identified.
