The omnipresent psychiatric narrative of mental illness has always had its counter-narrative - the life stories of people labelled mad. The relationship between these two accounts has always been one of domination: mad voices have been - and continue to be - not heard, overwritten, silenced or even erased in the course of psychiatric treatment. As survivor researchers who have had these kinds of experiences, we wish to discuss parallels between this tradition and some contemporary academic efforts that claim to disrupt it.
