Abstract

An expansion of peer provider hiring at the mental health clinic where she works prompted the author to e-mail other community psychiatrists to ask about their experiences working alongside current patients. The responses reflected both the benefits and challenges of this growing trend. For one psychiatrist, hiring peer providers is “a hallmark of recovery.” For another, it represents “a politically correct approach” that precludes honest discussion of the difficulties involved.
