Following extensive research in the UK, Bruce Cohen allows mental health users to tell their own stories (or ’narratives‘) of illness and recovery. Institutional and home treatment care is covered alongside controversial self-coping techniques such as drug-taking, spiritualism, alternative healing, sleep and watching television.
