Product Description
Review
"The emphasis in the handbook is of recovery and for research to be purposeful and useful in supporting this ... Reading this as a service user/carer, it gives optimism and hope as there are many good examples of personal stories and recovery – including recovery from schizophrenia which sends out a strong message." (MHRN newsletter, July 2011)
"This engaging, helpful and well–informed handbook offers a comprehensive and thorough revievw of service user involvement in mental health research, covering issues ranging from values and collaboration to control and power." (Mental Health Practice, 1 June 2011)
"The book may be of interest to those wanting to understand what user involvement can mean as well as those who have experienced it and want to extend their knowledge and research skills. Its scope means that chapters are necessarily brief but references are provided to follow up on interesting debates and topics." (British Journal of Psychiatry, December 2010)
"My perspective, as a researcher who works with service users, is that this is a useful resource to dip in and out of for advice about practical issues that arise when working with service users, e.g. payment. The book clearly explains what needs to be considered in paying service users. I found this advice was not readily available elsewhere when I needed it." (The Bridge Newsletter, 2011)
