Gail Hornstein - First-Person Accounts of Madness and Global Mental Health

Gail Hornstein - First-Person Accounts of Madness and Global Mental Health

This week, MIA Radio presents the fifth in a series of interviews on the topic of the global "mental health" movement." This series is being developed through a UMASS Boston initiative supported by a grant from the Open Society Foundation. The interviews are being led by UMASS PhD students who also comprise the Mad in America research news team.

We interview Dr. Gail Hornstein, a Professor of Psychology at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. She is the author of To Redeem One Person is to Redeem the World: The Life of Frieda Fromm-Reichmann and, most recently, Agnes's Jacket: A Psychologist's Search for the Meanings of Madness. In her work, she chronicles both the personal narratives of people with lived experience of being treated as "mad," and also the growing movement of survivor and service-user activism. Her Bibliography of First-Person Narratives of Madness in English (now in its 5th edition) lists more than 1,000 books by people who have written about madness from their own experience; it is used by researchers, clinicians, educators, and peer groups around the world.

She is now director of a major research and training project investigating how hearing voices peer-support groups work, supported by a grant from the Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care. This project is training dozens of new hearing voices group facilitators across the US and sponsors research to identify the key mechanisms by which this approach works.
