Abstract
The views of service users in this study concerning the realisation of user involvement and the factors promoting and preventing it were realistic. They are basic elements of patient-centred care and of all human interaction. Our participants described service user involvement in their own care and treatment. They emphasised the need to have more information, and wanted to be more involved in decision-making about their own care and treatment. They called for better care planning and co-ordination as one way to increase service user involvement. These also have implications for mental health services at the system level.
