• W2297862099 abstract "MAKING SELF HELP WORK by Tanya Temkin, Carol Silverman, Ph.D. and Steven P. Segal, Ph.D. In Philadelphia, a group of mental health consumers and other activists demonstrate at a state office building to demand housing for homeless people with mental disabilities. In response, the state agrees to commit several million dollars for long-term affordable housing. On the West Coast, ex-patients with bipolar illness hold peer support groups and start an employment program to help members find and keep steady work. In Vermont, parents of individuals with mental disabilities educate them- selves and others about how to gain better control over their own lives. These are all examples of what has been referred to as ”empowerment” But what does empowerment really mean? It&#39;s the catch phrase of the 90&#39;s, used by people in many disciplines, with many interests and diverse political leanings. Empowerment has at least as many meanings as there are people who use the term. Community psycholo- gist Julian Rappaport probably says it best with a non-definition: qEmpowerment is a little bit like obscenity; you have trouble defining it, but you know it when you see it.” TANYA TEMKIN is a Research Associate at the Center for Self Help Research (CSHR) in Berkeley, CA., has received in patient and out patient mental health services and is a graduate student in City Planning and Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. CAROL SILVERMAN, Ph.D. is Program Director at CSHR and a Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at UC Berkeley. STEVEN P. SEGAL, Ph.D. is Director of CSHR and Professor of Social Welfare at UC Berkeley where he has conducted research on a wide range of mental health issues. Empowerment is certainly an often used term in human services. Yeheskel Hasenfeld, a professor of social work, defines it as ”...a process through which clients obtain resources — personal, organizational, and community - that, enable them to gain greater control over their environment and attain their aspirations.” And social worker Barbara Pinderhughes regards it as ”...the capacity to influence the forces which It isn’t a top-down process; a person with greater social influence can’t “empower” someone who is less advantaged. Mental health clients, who have been denied any real say about the services they get, or who don&#39;t get a chance to pursue careers they want or to live in the housing of their choice, can’t be given power by even the most empathic mental health professionals. affect one&#39;s life space for one&#39;s own benefit.” Empowerment is thus the process of gaining such control and the exercise of the influence one has achieved. Yet, as Pinderhughes and others have acknowledged, it isn’t a top-down process; a person with greater social influence can’t qempower” someone who is less advantaged. Mental health clients, who have been denied any real say about the services they get, or who don&#39;t get a chance to pursue the careers they want or to live in the housing of their choice, can&#39;t be given power by even the most empathic mental health professionals. And family members who are frustrated by the red tape of human service bureaucracies can’t be empow- ered by the providers who serve their loved ones. How can people who have systematically been denied power gain it? What the organized efforts of both mental health clients and family members have shown us is, first, that they have achieved power through their own efforts. They typify the bottom-up process that is characteristic of real empowerment. They have organized, collectively, to get the informational and material resources they want, to gain credibility and clout for the organization they have formed, and to take on the arduous work of systems change. Note that key word - collectively. Empowerment is, above all, a dialectic process by which individuals become empowered through participation in a group effort, their groups gain power by entering the arena of community action, and the efforts of individuals and their groups make it possible for their com- munities to get resources and policy changes for their members. What moves mental health clients and family members to get some measure of power? The impetus is much the same for both, although the content and emergent policy agendas “Empowerment is a little bit like obscenity; you have trouble defining it, but you know it when you see it.” may differ and sometimes even clash. Both direct recipients and family members have felt dissatisfaction with the mental health services they have 4." @default.
