Abstract

This chapter highlights lived experience perspectives and their implications for psychological practice for people with psychosis. It starts with a description with respect to historical developments and continues with the importance of lived experience, language, and other relevant concepts. How to realise the implications of these concepts is explained, focussing on peer support work, participatory research, and advocacy and political action. Attention is given to how to incorporate both consumer and provider perspectives into practice, describing consumer priorities, values, power imbalances, and stigma and self-disclosure among professionals. Furthermore, good examples of peer support are described.
