Disordered Personalities — Seeond Edition
Publieation Notes
Terminology
Throughout this book, the term “patient” is used to refer to people who
are suffering and seek help. The term is further used to describe those
who bear pain without complaint or anger.
The terms “consumer" or “consumer-survivor” reflect an unfortunate
trend that is pejorative towards mental health care, labeling it as if it
were a trade or business instead of a profession. These terms are also
ambiguous, as it is not clear what is being “consumed” or “survived.”
