Abstract

ABSTRACT People with mental illnesses are overrepresented in the criminal justice system, and discourses concerning the medical model, criminalization, and criminality dominate the intervention landscape for this population. Using a critical postmodern lens, 45 in-depth interviews with peer specialists who had incarceration histories were analyzed to understand how they approach their work. Peer specialists with incarceration histories constructed new identities through their training and peer work by valuing experiential knowledge. Even in the face of power differentials, they challenged dominant discourses directly and indirectly and advocated for various forms of help for the people with whom they worked.

挑战主流话语:同伴工作作为社会正义工作

摘要精神疾病患者在刑事司法系统中的比例过高，有关医疗模式、刑事定罪和犯罪的论述主导了这一人群的干预格局。使用批判性的后现代视角，对45位有监禁史的同行专家进行了深入采访，以了解他们是如何处理工作的。有监禁史的同行专家通过他们的培训和同行工作，通过重视经验知识，构建了新的身份。即使面对权力差异，他们也直接或间接地挑战主流话语，并主张为与他们共事的人提供各种形式的帮助。
