Abstract

The aim of this discursive paper was to explore the development of co-productio nand service user involvement in UK university-based mental health research and to offer practicalrecommendations for practitioners co-producing research with service users and survivors,informed by an overview of the key literature on co-production in mental health and from acritical reflection on applied research throu gh the medium of a case study. The paper is co-writtenby a mental health nurse academic and a service user/survivor researcher academic. The authorsargue that the implications of co-production for mental health research remain underexplored, butthat both the practitioner and service user/survivor resea rcher experience and perspective of co-production in research can provide practical reflections to inform developing research practice.The theories and values of emancipatory research can provide a framework from which bothpractitioners and service users can work together on a research project, in a way that requiresreflection on process and power dynamics. The authors conclude that whilst co-producedinvestigations can offer unique opportunities for advancing emancipatory and applied research inmental health, practitioner researchers need to be more radical in their consid eration of power inthe research process.
