Recently there has been a growing awareness of the process of recovery from serious mental illness and the importance of coming to terms with the challenges resulting from the illness. Acceptance of one's mental illness is a critical milestone of the recovery journey, fostering empowerment, hope, and self-determination. In addition, there has been a developing interest in the role of culture in influencing the experience of mental illness, treatment, and recovery. Yet, the topic of how people with diverse cultural backgrounds come to recognize and cope with their mental illness is often overlooked in the literature. Acceptance of Mental Illness adheres to a recovery-oriented philosophy that understands recovery as not simply symptom elimination, but as the process of living a meaningful and satisfying life with mental illness. The book synthesizes research on this topic and offers extensive case histories gathered by the authors to provide readers with an understanding of the multidimensional process of acceptance of mental illness across genders, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. The aim is for clinical readers to be better equipped to support people with mental illness across culturally diverse groups to experience empowerment, mental wellness, and growth. Chapters focus on providing a historical overview of the treatment of people with mental illness, examining the acceptance process, and exploring the experience of acceptance among women, men, racial-ethnic minorities, and LGBT individuals with serious mental illnesses. The book is a useful tool for mental health educators and providers, with each chapter containing case studies, clinical strategies lists, discussion questions, experiential activities, diagrams, and worksheets that can be completed with clients, students, and peers.

In the fall of 2016, Sarasota Herald-Tribune staff writer Carrie Seidman launched an art/ journalism project, in conjunction with her fellowship from the Carter Center for Mental Health Journalism, aimed at eliminating prejudice against individuals with mental illness. FACEing Mental Illness: The Art of Acceptance invited individuals within the community with a mental health condition of any kind, to create a self-portrait exploring their feelings about their challenges. A series of free workshops were held monthly, where art supplies and professional guidance were available to all. Many participants also chose to share their mental health journeys in depth, through interviews and in videos, and their stories ran weekly in the Herald-Tribune. Hundreds of community members volunteered time or gave generously to help underwrite the costs of the supplies, workshops, transportation and a film documenting the project's progress. Dozens of local business contributed in-kind services, from framing to refreshments. The project culminated with a month-long exhibition of all the project artwork at the Selby Public Library in downtown Sarasota in March 2017. In the following pages, you will find many of the stories and most of the artwork created for the project. It is our hope that community efforts like this one will help change our culture's attitudes about mental illness and promote better mental health for everyone.

"Acceptance" is a first hand account of the author's life during which Dr. Barker struggles with bipolar illness. After a third hospitalization and 30 years of denial, he comes to the realization that he can no longer deny the impact this illness has had on every aspect of his life. Once acceptance of the illness occurs, he reviews how the intoxicating highs and devastating lows created by the disorder have contributed to divorce, job shifting, social disconnections and spiritual doubt. "Acceptance" traces how the illness, without treatment, is like a dark shadow that comes and goes throughout a person's life causing unnecessary suffering for the diagnosed patient and their loved ones. "Acceptance" explores how a carefully balanced plan of medical and psycho-social treatment can arrest the ravages of the illness, allowing patients and their families to achieve maximal recovery. The stigma and shame of mental illness are painfully real, yet can be modified by loving acceptance and compliance with treatment. "Acceptance" is an honest, hopeful book that should be read by anyone who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, or any severe and persistent mental illness, and their loved ones.

This book examines how depression, bipolar disorder, and suicidal thoughts are often symptoms to broader cultural issues, ways we can collectively shift the stigmas around and treatments of mental illness, and how these "disorders" can serve as a catalyst to connecting with our complete, authentic selves, empowering us with the courage to truly live. It's filled with tools that have helped me and the people I've worked with connect with our feelings, understand the ways we distract, deflect and hide our emotions, and start to flourish. And while individuals who identify with mental illness may find the most value from this book, it is really for anyone looking to dive deeper into this global epidemic and find a bit of clarity.

This book makes a highly innovative contribution to overcoming the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness – still the heaviest burden both for those afflicted and those caring for them. The scene is set by the presentation of different fundamental perspectives on the problem of stigma and discrimination by researchers, consumers, families, and human rights experts. Current knowledge and practice used in reducing stigma are then described, with information on the programmes adopted across the world and their utility, feasibility, and effectiveness. The core of the volume comprises descriptions of new approaches and innovative programmes specifically designed to overcome stigma and discrimination. In the closing part of the book, the editors – all respected experts in the field – summarize some of the most important evidence- and experience-based recommendations for future action to successfully rewrite the long and burdensome ‘story’ of mental illness stigma and discrimination.
