This book explores the potential of Creative Coproduction as a recovery
tool for severe mental disorder, using case study examples of service
users with anorexia nervosa. Written by authors with expertise in both
mental health provision and experience of mental health services, the
book advocates a creative, coproductive approach to treating mental
disorders. Creative Coproduction involves significant interaction and
collaboration between health and social care professionals, sufferers,
recovered patients, educational establishments, families and scientists at
all levels of interaction. The book emphasises the importance of working
together creatively as a diverse yet cohesive team, adding to existing
knowledge through every interaction and discovering and developing
alternative recovery pathways. It challenges the stigma faced by people
with mental health difficulties, using Foucault’s concept and theory of
unreason. The book further uses the neuroscience of creativity as a lens
by which to identify creative characteristics and actions, discussing ways
this can be harnessed to transform recovery pathways through creative
practices. Centering the voices of service users and their families alongside
mental health professionals, this important book will be valuable
reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in health
and allied sciences, mental health and social work programmes. It will also
be highly relevant for health and social care professionals including mental
health nurses, allied practitioners, managers of community mental health
teams and community practitioners.
