A guide to shared decision making (SDM), a transparent and fair approach to critical decision making that clarifies responsibilities and tasks between patients with serious mental illness, providers, families, and other stakeholders.

This book explains the public health benefits of a consumer-driven model of mental health care and describes evidence-based practices for helping people choose treatments that best fit their own goals and social context.

This journal serves as a venue for articles examining research representing stigma in its various guises as it impacts people living with mental and physical illness.

The lives of people with disease and disability are affected not only by their conditions but by public response to these conditions in the form of stigma and discrimination. Making sense of this injustice is the focus of this book.
