Recovery working group co-director, Elizabeth Bernstein, published an article in Public Books, titled “Heal Thyself?” The article explores Professor Bernstein’s personal experience with a life-changing illness that began in 2014, describing the challenges faced during the diagnostic process and subsequent journey through various symptoms. The article also explores first-person accounts of those with similar illnesses as well as books reviews of works by Meghan O’Rourke and Ed Cohen.

The article suggests the need for a broader consideration of social transformations to better support relations of care and explores potential models of medicine driven by community control rather than profit.
