Abstract

This paper considers the problem of how Mad leaders might be authentic without resorting to discriminatory identity policing. The paper briefly charts the contemporary role of consumer/survivor/ex-patient/mad activism in mental health reform before drawing on the author’s failed attempt to grapple with authentic mad leadership. Drawing on Mad Studies theory and the wisdom of Lewis Carroll’s Mad Hatter, the author argues that the consumer/survivor/ex-patient/mad movement should welcome all experiences of madness, but only those who can exercise authentic leadership should lead the movement. This requires resistance against non-Mad ways of knowing and exercising power and for established power hierarchies to transform to allow authentic mad leadership.
疯狂的帽子。对疯狂领导的反思
本文考虑的问题是,疯狂的领导者如何在不诉诸歧视性身份监管的情况下做到真实。本文简要地描绘了消费者/幸存者/前病人/疯子行动主义在精神卫生改革中的当代作用,然后借鉴了作者试图与真正的疯子领导作斗争的失败尝试。作者借鉴了疯狂研究理论和刘易斯·卡罗尔的《疯帽子人》中的智慧,认为消费者/幸存者/前病人/疯狂运动应该欢迎所有的疯狂经历,但只有那些能够发挥真正领导力的人才能领导这场运动。这需要抵制非疯狂的认识和行使权力的方式,并要求既定的权力等级制度转变为允许真正的疯狂领导。
