Independent Advocacy and Spiritual Care

  • 661 Accesses

Abstract

Covering its origins in early modern times and modern, international and social movements, the author presents a fascinating spiritual chronology of the development of independent advocacy from ‘Bedlam’ (the Royal Bethlehem Hospital), ‘lunacy’ laws, emergent political rights, the Alleged Lunatics Friends’ Society, to self-advocacy and the user movements of recent years. He concludes with reflections on the emergent professionalisation of independent advocates, the concept of capacity and medical best interests compared with how the Mental Capacity Act conceives of the same. He also relates its rise within the recounted social ferment into a role with a vigorous spiritual purpose which one of the leading lights of the modern advocacy movement, Wolfensberger, brought to the table.

Notes

  1. 1.

    1Close to those walls where Folly holds her throne,

    And laughs to think Monroe would take her down,

    Where o’er the gates, by his famed by father’s hand

    Great Cibber’s brazen, brainless brothers stand;

    One cell there is, concealed from vulgar eye,

    The cave of poverty and poetry.

    The Dunciad Book the First, Alexander Pope.

  2. 2.

    2Newbigging et al. (2015) presented a detailed history of UK mental health user involvement. NAG organised the conference which spawned UKAN and consolidated support for patients’ councils, issue-based and citizen advocacy in a militant-like atmosphere of workers ‘downing tools’ and on the march (Barnes and Gell in K. Newbigging et al. 2015, pp. 66–67).

    3A term from Critical Realism.
