The book highlights alternatives beyond psychiatry, current possibilities for self-help for individuals experiencing madness or depression, and strategies toward implementing humane treatment. Sixty-one authors - (ex-) users and survivors of psychiatry, therapists, psychiatrists, lawyers, social scientists and relatives from all five continents - report about their alternative work, their objectives and successes, and their individual and collective experiences. +++ These are the main questions addressed by the 61 authors from all five continents: What helps me if I go mad or depressive? How can I find trustworthy help for a relative or a friend in need? How can I protect myself from coercive treatment? As a family member or friend, how can I help? What should I do if I can no longer bear to work in the mental health field? What are the alternatives to psychiatry? How can I get involved in creating alternatives? Assuming psychiatry would be abolished: what do you propose. instead of psychiatry?

"Alternatives beyond psychiatry is a welcome breath of fresh air. In its pages, 61 authors from around the world (mainly Europe and North America) describe initiatives, projects and personal strategies that challenge traditional approaches. It will be thought-provoking and inspirational reading for anyone interested in innovative responses to madness." (Peter Campbell) +++
"This book will be helpful for anyone who has been labeled and diagnosed with a 'mental illness' to find self determination, recovery and transformation. It will dismiss the ignorance around the myth of 'mental illness' for those who read this book and it should be required reading for ministers for health, workers in the field, family members and all who are interested in the subject." (Mary Maddock)
