I am currently a part-time PhD student in the English Literature department at Exeter University, working on the demonising representations of psychiatrists (psychoanlaysts and psychotherapists) in modern English and American fiction.

I have a long history of being a psychiatric patient, my first hospital admission having been in 1971.  Many of my service-user experiences have been negative.  However,  I have also benefited greatly from psychotherapy over a long period and am now well enough to study again.
