“…"Unlearning" is the process of scrutinizing one's existing knowledge and making room for alternate and new ways of thinking and learning (MacPhee & Norrad, 2022;Snyder et al, 2019). Procknow (2019b) engaged Mad Studies theories through Argyris' (1994) concept of "anti-learning" to undermine his entrenched "mental model" that insanity was an incorrect way of behaving and being (and that saneness was the correct form of psychic health). Anti-learning imbued him the confidence needed to disclose his schizoaffective states in a graduate-level leadership class and re-language his "states" as a source of pride rather than shame (Procknow, 2019b Here, Mad Studies supplies a metacurriculum of unlearning (Snyder et al, 2019).…”

Students diagnosed with mental illness are progressively composing the makeup of our universities’ student bodies. With more “mad” students making their way into the academy, this has encouraged many in Mad Studies to consider the challenges they confront in pursuing post-secondary studies. The purpose of this structured literature review of the Mad Studies canon is to tease out themes apropos to the education of adults through a critical pedagogy lens. Themal categories were organized around: Mad Studies course development and curriculum, popular culture and arts-based education, contesting the university seeped in sanism, surveilling mad bodies/minds, the university demands resilience, the politics of course instruction/teaching, mad disclosures, educational policy, and threat and risk management. This paper concludes by discussing the glaring voids in the literature and recommendations for future research.

“…For the sake of this paper, we discuss two discrete populations, the sane and unsane. We do this not to intentionally set them up as a duality but to acknowledge that on this continuum there are sufferers with immutable conditions, for example, schizophrenics, and those minimally mad with depressive or neurotic disorders that can make healthy returns back to sanity and move places on the continuum (Procknow, 2019). Notions of recovery and resilience factor and feed into the demarcation of serious from less serious disorders.…”

“…Such as, the privilege not to be drugged without consent, forcibly institutionalized, or having their medical history be a deterrent to meaningful work. Sane people are often unaware that they enjoy such positive, mental health privilege (Procknow, 2019). Differently, Mad Studies subverts structural sanist practices, ideas, and laws, and assists the mentally ill in pursuit of equality and subjective, epistemological recovery (Menzies et al, 2013).…”

“…What separates leaders’ who are shorn of sanity and those believed to be “sane” is the myth that the mad lack self-awareness. Authentic leaders that disclose latent disorders invite liability and vulnerability onto their “true selves.” Supercrips, overall, bring with them an unrivaled awareness of their strengths and the fragility of their masks through years of self-disclosure, personal mastery, and testing their resolve (Procknow, 2019). Few in the AL literature envisage that leaders can lead authentically by relating to the emotions and experiences of their employees (Mansoor et al, 2011).…”

Contesting “Authenticity” in Authentic Leadership through a Mad Studies Lens

A Mad Studies/social model of mental distress lens was used to critique authentic leadership. We deconstructed the dilemma of authenticity and leadership by exploring how authentic leadership (dis)allows the inclusion of people with mental illness. We found that their minds are treated as disruptive and rarely ever read as authentic. For followers to view “mentally ill” leaders as authentic requires candidness, disability disclosure, and emulating norms typical to their ingroup membership. We conclude this paper by challenging HRD to rethink its stance on disruptive leadership as symptomatic of mental illness. Employees with mental health marginality can develop an authentic identity in the workplace through authenticity building experiences such as connecting mad leaders to peer-support training, offering specialized leadership development, and co-producing a mental health awareness curriculum that challenges unhealthy workplace discourses that stigmatize mad leaders and workers.

“…Consequently, people are presented with inaccurate or over-exaggerated depictions of mental illness. However, owing to a lack of knowledge in this area, media depictions of mental illness may be internalized and accepted as accurate, resulting in prejudice and discrimination (Kondo, 2008; Procknow, 2019; Ross et al , 2019; Tan et al , 2020).…”

Purpose People who experience mental illness often demonstrate limited help-seeking behaviours. There is evidence to suggest that media content can influence negative attitudes towards mental illness; less is known about how media impacts help-seeking behaviours. The purpose of this study is to identify if media plays a role in people’s decisions to seek help for their mental health. Design/methodology/approach The databases Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, MEDLINE, APA PsycArticles, APA PsycInfo, Social Sciences Full Text [H.W. Wilson] and Soc Index were systemically searched for papers in the English language that investigated the link between media and help-seeking for mental illness. Findings Sixteen studies met eligibility criteria. There was some evidence to suggest that various forms of media – including video and online resources – can positively influence help-seeking for mental health. Print media had some limited effect on help-seeking behaviours but was weaker in comparison to other forms of media. There was no evidence to suggest that media discourages people from seeking help. Originality/value This review identified that, given the heterogeneity of the included papers, and the limited evidence available, there is a need for more focused research to determine how media impacts mental health-related help-seeking behaviours.
