“…These include the importance of promoting and encouraging active participation by service users and the need for strengthening key relationships with professionals who are able to engage in active dialogue with the service user. This study identified empowerment as a key theme and supported the views of Tew (2002), which are characterised by a collaborative working relationship built on trust, respect and equality. The following discussion provides suggestions for ways of addressing some of these issues, and how practitioners can actively facilitate a collaborative and trusting relationship.…”

Aims and MethodInvolvement of service users in the research process and examination of recovery from psychosis are two topics that have generated recent interest within the research community. This user-led study examines the subjective experience of recovery in people with experience of psychosis. Seven interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis and several themes emerged from the data.ResultsRecovery from psychosis was found to be a complex and idiosyncratic process, which often involved rebuilding life, rebuilding self and hope for a better future (each of these themes consisted of sub-themes).Clinical ImplicationsThe importance of continuity of care, the need for greater choice in approaches aimed at alleviating distress, access to stories of recovery and encouragement, and the importance of more individualised recovery care plans are among factors highlighted.

“…The medical model can amplify the stigma connected with mental health service users (Beresford, 2004;Beresford et al, 2010;Mulvany, 2000). The social model demonstrates the link between mental distress and experiences of oppression and inequality (Tew, 2002). Tew et al, (2002) suggest that social factors particularly 'major social trauma,' may increase the risk of breakdown or distress through stigmatisation and discrimination (Tew, 2002, p. 148).…”

The opposite association is equally plausible, that stigmatisation and discrimination may be the reason for the original mental distress in the first place.…”

Background:Socially constructed disablement has marginalized young people in families where a parent has younger onset dementia (YOD). This has contributed to inadequate societal support for their complex situation. Impacts on such young people include significant involvement with mental health services for themselves. In this paper, we explored the young people's lived experiences in these families and the influencing factors to enable these young people to be included and supported within their community.Methods:In this qualitative research study, the social model of disability was used as the theoretical framework in conducting a thematic analysis of interviews with 12 participants.Results:Three themes emerged; invisibility highlighting the issues of marginalization; connectivity foregrounding the engagement of young people with family, friends and their social networks, and being empowered through claiming their basic human right to receive the age appropriate support they needed.Conclusion:The current plight of young people living with a parent with YOD demands a fundamental shift by society in developing inclusive cross-sectorial cooperation linking service providers across youth and dementia sectors. This requires working in partnership with the service users responding to the identified needs of individual family members.

“…The social model has also been used to explore the social impact of mental distress, which is conceptualised as both a response to, and an implicit revolt against, experiences of injustice, enforced loss or abuse (Tew, 2002). Using the language of the social model, separating impairment from disability is particularly problematic in mental health, and the subject of much critical debate (Beresford, 2004).…”

The emotional well-being of young people having a parent with younger onset dementia

et al. 2014

Younger onset dementia (YOD) not only affects the person with the diagnosis but the whole family, which often includes young people. A limited body of research on this group of young people indicates that they experience varying degrees of emotional trauma. We explored the lived experiences of young people having a parent with YOD from the perspective of the social model of disability. Data was available from semi-structured interviews with 12 young people who had a parent with YOD looking at their lived experiences between 10 -24 years. Thematic analysis identified four main themes: the emotional toll of caring, keeping the family together, grief and loss and psychological distress. The social model of disability theory provides a helpful framework for these families who experience significant emotional distress, demonstrating that the disability is often socially constructed by a society, which marginalizes and excludes them. A 'whole family' approach is proposed, where the needs of young people and their parents are respected and responded to age appropriately.
