Re: First person accounts of disorders

[Dan Segrist]

Sue--a couple of suggestions. You could try:   http://www.nami.org.  That's the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. They may have some resources for you   Also, in the "Authoratitve Guide to Self-Help Resources in Mental Healt h" (Norcross, Santrock, Campbell, Smith, Sommer & Zuckerman) web sites are provided that give "biographical and autobiographical vignettes" for each disorder (e.g., mood disorders, schizophrenia, etc.). I've found this book t o be an incredible resource.   Hope this helps!   Dan Segrist, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Psychology Southwestern Illinois College Granite City Campus 4950 Maryville Road Granite Ci ty, IL  62040 (618) 931-0600, ext. 6694 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>& gt; [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/31/03 06:31PM >>> Hi all, I'm loo king for short (length of a magazine article) first person accounts of psychologi cal disorders.  I'd like to have a selection of articles for my Abnormal Psychology students to read.  They have the textbook and case studies f rom the clinician's viewpoint.  I'd like to add a 'personal voices' perspec tive as well.  Any suggestions? -- Sue Frantz          Highline Commun ity College        Psychology          Des Moi nes, WA 206.878.3710 x3404  [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://flightline.highline.ed u/sfrantz/ --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
