More info on C.J. Lince and her project:
The People’s DSM (also called Identities of Mentally Oppressed Kin or IMOK) is a project where psychiatric survivors reject outside labels and define ourselves however we see fit: a description, a story, a drawing… anything to express our identities without fear of ridicule or medical labeling. C.J. coordinates MindFreedom Portland, Oregon.
C.J. Lince is a social activist and psychiatric survivor living in Portland, Oregon. She is currently in her final year at Portland State University in the bachelor’s of social work program. C.J. believes that unusual thinkers and visionaries who have received pathological labels, who know the workings of oppression from experience, are the best hope for a world in desperate need of a creative system overhaul.
More about Erick and his book:
Erick is a psychiatric survivor, mad activist, and ethnographic writer in Toronto, Canada. After being forcibly treated in Vancouver in 1993, he returned to Toronto, working with West End Psychiatric Survivors to initiate Canada’s first Survivor Pride Day. He soon began to advocate with the Queen Street Patients Council (later Outreach Society). Erick co-founded the No Force Coalition in Ontario in 1999.
