Bibliography

A Psychiatric Survivor’s Book List
(compiled by Erick Fabris, Feb. 2007)

Download the PDF.

This booklist is still growing and far from exhaustive. I would welcome any suggestions on adding to it. It includes newspaper articles, academic theses, and anything in between. It is an open, non-alphabetized, list of challenging readings regarding psychiatry, institutionalization and paternal law. The voice of psychiatric survivors is honoured, as are books on gender, race, class, and disability. Online sources are listed first in each section and may not be up to date. The sections of this list are:

psychiatric survivor experiences
‘family’ writings
who’s story is it?
psychiatry
history of psychiatry
de/institutionalization
legal rights
coercion and force in treatment
community treatment orders and assertive community treatment teams
‘stigma’ and discrimination
the violence myth
gender, race, culture, and class interconnections
drugs (psychopharmaceuticals)
electroshock, lobotomy, sterilization, euthanasia
homelessness (under construction)
genetics
antipsychiatry and sociology
disability issues
feminism
self-recovery in long term studies
‘psychosocial’ responses with minimal to no drug use
alternatives to psychiatric intervention
self-help and emotional guides
getting off ‘medication’
philosophy
spirituality
misc (under construction)
