2. Four Questions
1. What is personalisation?
2. What does it mean for people with mental health
problems?
3. Is integration important?
4. How should we fund mental health supports?
6. 1. A positive focus on the person - their real
wealth
2. An equal and productive relationship with
the professional - coproduction
3. A commitment to positive outcomes and
citizenship
12. These findings [better long-term outcomes for
schizophrenia in developing countries] still
generate some professional contention and disbelief,
as they challenge outdated assumptions that
generally people do not recover from schizophrenia
and that outcomes for western treatments and
rehabilitation must be superior. However, these
results have proven to be remarkably robust, on the
basis of international replications and 15-25 year
follow-up studies. Explanations for this phenomenon
are still at the hypothesis level, but include:
1. greater inclusion or retained social integration in
the community in developing countries, so that the
person retains a role or status in the society;
2. involvement in traditional healing rituals,
reaffirming community inclusion and solidarity;
3. availability of a valued work role that can be
adapted to a lower level of functioning;
4. availability of an extended kinship or communal
network, so that family tension and burden are
diffused, and there is often less negatively 'expressed
emotion' in the family.

29. 1. Status quo - 2 systems
2. Tidy up & rationalise,
but 2 systems
3. One system - but with
two funding streams
4. Just one system, with
real joint funding
30. • Health-social care distinction will not hold when
people seek solutions that work
• Mental health is sufficiently coherent to have its
own system - but not coherent enough to have
two!
• Political situation creates interesting opportunities
- creative havoc in local government and PCTs
• Risk of increased tension and incoherence - the
imperative to personalise will fail without greater
rigour
