Mike SmithClinical Director AFG
“…dangerous, don’t listen to a word he says”State hospital manager Denver Co
It’s a global issue !
• Mike Smith Clinical director AFG England• Stop seeing things in our local ways
Different interventions at different phases
• Recovery as a journey (Smith 1997) whole lives/• Beginnings • Destinations• A lot in the middle that’s hard to make sense of.• Makes sense looking back• Use the knowledge of the journey to help others
If recovery is a journey, a process, a direction rather than an event or a label then there has to be a map, a guide, short cuts, beginnings and an overall direction.
Recovery from what? And to what?
• They said that I was mad • And I said it was them who were mad
• Damn the they outvoted me
k
• If you talk to God it called prayer
• If god talks back its schizophrenia!
Normalise the experience
• 1 in 4 people are mentally ill!• Think of your 3 best friends• Are they OK?

From what• Large institutions and imperialist illness and exclusion
systems• Low throughput (they grew slowly) up to 65% did leave
within 1 year, recovery rates (medical) were quite high (higher than present rates) social recovery measures low, stigma high
• Low threshold of evidence for the status quo but the status quo has a tradition, power and a legacy that is still evident today.
• Poor practice• Human abuse
To what• Fragmented services• Gaps in systems (mind the Gap)• Funding and focus of systems changed in 1970’s • Approaches to deinstitutionalisation varied across Europe• Community Care (but did it ?) • Competition in a market for customers but who is the customer?• Evidence based care, but recovery rates not increasing (Whitaker
2011) disability rates increasing and evidence is in itself politicised.
• Systemic abuse falling and rights growing but very expensive and politicised regulation, law can be misused
Change the structure, change the system?
• Has worked as part of a process of deinstitutionalisation
• Moved the building• Restructured our funding and the market (de
centralisation & personalisation)• Incidence of mental illness increasing by 17%
every 10 years• Public spending lowering
Changing what• From damaged goods - to people struggling• From disease - to distress• From symptom management - to self acceptance, growth and self
management• Hopeless - to Hopeful• Expert gift model - to wise advisor• Patient -to person• Removal of rights - to reclaiming of Rights -to ownership of rights and
responsibilities (Citizenship) • Independence - to interdependence• Problem focussed to solution focussed• System centred to person centred• Credentialed by state of Colorado
