“Nothing About Me, Without Me”: Participatory Action Research with Self‐Help/Mutual Aid Organizations for Psychiatric Consumer/Survivors
Abstract
Participatory action research with self‐help/mutual aid organizations for psychiatric consumer/survivors is reviewed. We begin by tracing the origins of and defining both participatory action research and self‐help/mutual aid. In so doing, the degree of correspondence between the assumptions/values of participatory action research and those of self‐help/mutual aid for psychiatric consumer/survivors is examined. We argue that participatory action research and self‐help/mutual aid share four values in common: (a) empowerment, (b) supportive relationships, (c) social change, and (d) learning as an ongoing process. Next, selected examples of participatory action research with psychiatric consumer/survivor‐controlled self‐help/mutual aid organizations which illustrate these shared values are provided. We conclude with recommendations of how the key values can be promoted in both the methodological and substantive aspects of future participatory action research with self‐help/mutual aid organizations for psychiatric consumer/survivors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
