Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation - Clinic Services

David Copernhart

This center is informal research setting, with a limited capacity of running social surveys and nothing beyond. The chief psycho is the mama-rosa E. Sally Rogers. The others, such as Dori Hutchinson, Zlatka Russinova, Marjory Jacobs, are mentally sick as well, and they actually do not deny it. Glad to find about their positive outlook on the fallacious concept of "recovery." There is no such a thing as "recovery from schizophrenia" but these peer-providers with schizophrenia, these psychiatric patients with malice, these masters of false accusations and suspense drama fabricators (E. Sally Rogers, Dorothy S. Hutchinson, Zlatka Russinova, Marjory Jacobs, Marianne Farkas, Marie M. Mesidor) keep fighting to convince to themselves and to others that "recovery is possible." The good news is that their groundless hope may actually keep them in peace for a while, so they will not harm others as they always did and do.

I have had the privilege of working with the Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation on project for about a year focused on training Vocational Rehabilitation Staff members in WV. I have found them to be incredibly resourceful and knowledgeable. They have been willing to go that extra distance to ensure the technical assistance they have provided is not cursory, but instead really hits home and will truly be of benefit, including learning about psychiatric issues we encounter in the provision of services Great State of WV, our own cultural considerations, as well as our Opioid Crisis, experienced by many with dual diagnosis.

Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation (CPR) at Boston University, currently situated at 940 Commonwealth Ave, NW, Boston, MA 02215, is the pioneer of peer-to-peer approach. All staff members of the center are in fact peer-providers (i.e. former or current psychiatric patients) who endlessly explore alternative ways in alleviating crises and grievance in other mentally challenged (deinstitutionalized) persons through conveying their own experiences and recovery-oriented practices. Most of them are college-graduated sociologists, not even social-psychologists, working in a flexibility model, from 11:00 am to 4:00p Monday through Thursday, on full-time salary, as the rest of the job they do at home. These social-justice-fighters do their best to enter the world of public health or psychiatric medicine through their surveys and semi-structured interviews. Many odd projects, like PhotVoice or PPROC (peer provider recovery-oriented chats) are not yet welcomed by the professionals in the field, but CPR never gives up and still submits proposals for Federal fundings- all paid by the American taxpayer. Even being disregarded by the professional network of psychologists or psychiatrists, these brave peer-providers fight hard to be recognized in a prime authorship of the concept of recovery - which they name an everlasting process.
