Abstract

By the adoption of the United Nation Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, many countries have committed to providing conditions for persons with disabilities to actively participate in the community. This article explores the meaning of active citizenship for persons with psychosocial disabilities and focuses in particular on the role of the state. Illustrated with examples from Sweden, the analysis underlines the complexity of the relationship between mental health and society by taking into account several models of disability, different conceptions of citizenship and the broader socio-economic context. We suggest that the use of a dynamic approach to psychosocial disabilities is appropriate for dealing with the manifold issue of mental health in welfare states. In conclusion, we point at important challenges facing the realization of full inclusion and citizenship in contemporary societies.
