Aus unseren jeweiligen Perspektiven als langjährige Aktivistinnen der internationalen Bewegung von Psychiatriebetroffenen diskutieren wir die heutige Bedeutung der Antipsychiatrie. Zu Beginn des Gespräches verständigen wir uns darüber, wie wir diesen Begriff verwenden und welche Bedeutung Antipsychiatrie für unser politisches Engagement und für unsere Arbeit hat. Danach befassen wir uns mit der Reichweite einer ›Anti‹-Positionierung zur Psychiatrie und untersuchen, worauf sie sich gegenwärtig genau bezieht und was dabei in der Regel außer Acht gelassen wird.

Objective: To present the European Network of (ex-)users and survivors of psychiatry and discuss issues of concern among (ex-)users and survivors. Method: Material from papers and documents published by and discussed among (ex-)users and survivors of psychiatry is used to outline topics of interest. Results: The European Network of (ex-)Users and Survivors of Psychiatry (ENUSP) was founded in 1991 as an association of national/regional organizations of (ex-)users and survivors of psychiatry. The network organizes biennial conferences, all delegates are (ex-)users and survivors of psychiatry. ENUSP aims include the fight against discrimination of people with experience of the psychiatric system, support for (ex-)user/survivor organizations, influence on policy-making, legislation and human rights debates, demedicalizing psychiatry, and opposition to unidimensional approaches to mental and emotional distress. Conclusion: (Ex-)users and survivors should be involved in monitoring psychiatric services, education and examination of mental health professionals. User/survivor-controlled services constitute an important innovative service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
