Asks if involving users in evaluating an assertive outreach team would produce a fuller picture of clients' views. Describes the team established in 2001 in Chichester. Gives examples of what was learned from clients, carers and team members. Concludes that user involvement meant lots more energy and clarity of vision, determination to see it through and pave the way for the future, and a principled yet realistic and pragmatic approach. Some felt the team had made a real, positive difference, but areas of weakness remain.

The personal narratives collected here describe what has been helpful and unhelpful to people with experience of psychosis; what has supported their recovery and some of the obstacles that have been encountered. The handbook aims to provide space for learning and to improve understanding between frontline staff and people experiencing psychosis in line with modern person-centred practice. It attempts to illustrate how workers in the mental health system can engage with the experience of people with psychosis without imposing their own meaning on those experiences. Positive support from mental health services is identified by contributors such as, counselling, medication, getting the diagnoses right, cognitive behaviour therapy and the involvement of skilled, caring and hopeful professionals. However there are also many reports of people finding a way forward in life that is outside of, or in non-patient roles within, mental health services. Some of the turning points described include; entering a relationship, developing a spiritual base, connecting with nature, training and supporting others with mental illness, support from family or accepting friends, stopping contact with unhelpful people, education, challenging discrimination, humour, and accepting oneself.
