Searching for a Rose Garden is an incisive critique of all that is
unhelpful about sanestream understandings of and responses to mental
distress. Drawing on world-wide survivor activism and scholarship, it
explores the toxicity of psychiatry and the co-option and corruption of
survivor knowledge and practice by the mainstream. Chapters on survivor
research and theory reveal the constant battle to establish and maintain
a safe space for experiential knowledge within academia and beyond.
Other chapters explore how survivor-developed projects and practices are
cultivating a wealth of bright blooms in the most hostile of
environments, providing an important vision for the future. Referencing
Joanne Greenberg s book I Never Promised you a Rose Garden, this
collection demonstrates the challenge, determination and successes of
the authors in working towards a paradigm shift in the understanding of
madness and distress.
