Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to explore the efforts of four American women living with psychosis to chart their recovery process in published memoirs.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper looks at the different types of stigma that the patient-authors claim to encounter.
Findings
The author discusses the impact that the patient-authors see stigma as having on their recovery, and why they need artistic spaces to express themselves.
Originality/value
The memoirs offer a space for the women to revisit their memories of psychosis, and to achieve at least a partial acceptance of these experiences.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to challenge some of the stigma that surrounds voice-hearing. This excerpt of creative writing comes from a self-published memoir, that tells a young woman's story of her struggle with hearing voices, and her journey through the mental health system.
Design/methodology/approach
Writing provides a useful filter for Emily to reflect on what it was like to receive various diagnoses, treatments and therapies when she was hearing voices.
Findings
Emily learns to accept that she hears voices. This is a journey that takes all of her new-found strength and resolve.
Originality/value
This memoir describes voices (auditory verbal hallucinations) that need to be more widely understood.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this survivor-researcher-led study is to explore the agency of voice-hearers who are migrants and/or from black and minority ethnic backgrounds in actively negotiating the gaps between their understanding of hearing voices, and those of their family, their society or the medical establishment.
Design/methodology/approach
This study draws four case studies of voice-hearers, who are migrants and/or from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. Data were thematically analysed.
Findings
This study shows how bilingual voice-hearers related emotionally to voices in one or two languages.
Originality/value
This study is original in that it shows that bilingual voice-hearers may hear their voice/s in either their native language or second language, but that in both cases voices may embody strong positive or negative emotions.

Abstract
A (future) search conference is a carefully planned, custom‐designed, participative event embedded in a longer process of planning and improvement. Its main focus is to create ideas for future action that is to be implemented by the participants. This paper outlines what a search conference is and, by using recent Australian examples associated with homelessness, community development and Indigenous affairs, how it can be a useful qualitative research tool.

Abstract
Purpose
To outline changes in selection attraction, search and assessment processes and examine and compare, using a surveillance perspective, the privacy and equity issues for applicants, organisations and testers.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper begins by reviewing briefly the role of surveillance and identifying the key issues of privacy, control and purpose of data collection and dissemination in an HR context. Through reviewing recent publications (1998‐2004) contrasts are made between earlier and new processes in applicant attraction, search and assessment. The impact of these potential changes on privacy and equity is then examined for three stakeholders: applicants, organisations, and testers.
Findings
Identifies the potential for misuse of data through these systems and the possibility of the perpetuation of discrimination for traditional marginalised groups. Raises the increased power brought about through such processes for organisations through data assemblage and for testers via increased control of their tools.
Research limitations/implications
Calls for more critical work to examine the impact of new attraction, search and assessment practices on applicants to reveal whether the improved equity of access new technology affords is translated into increased equity of participation.
Practical implications
A very useful source of information about current processes and concerns they raise. Outlines future research agendas in these three areas.
Originality/value
This paper updates one's understanding of current practice and reveals genuine concerns about the potential applications of surveillance techniques within an HR context.

Abstract
Purpose
The study seeks to extend the comprehension in entrepreneurial marketing (EM) and social value creation through searching the entrepreneurship process in the socially valued art industry.
Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on a qualitative method: multiple case study. In total, six art‐related innovative enterprises are chosen in different categories (art school, museum, art fair, art gallery, art media) in the art industry. Common properties of the cases are; creating social value in different scopes; and being pioneer and changing the rules in their fields as the entrepreneurial marketers.
Findings
The result of the case study is based on the comprehensive model of entrepreneurship process and the findings are introduced in sub titles: antecedents of the entrepreneurship process; antecedents of non‐profit and for‐profit enterprises; ambidextrous entrepreneurship process; and ambidextrous dimensions of social value creation.
Research limitations/implications
The study provides a new insight on social value creation and EM literature.
Social implications
The art industry is closely related with social value creation and the study is valuable for filling the gaps between art and the entrepreneurship in this context.
Originality/value
The study is valuable since it focuses on opportunity‐related phases of entrepreneurship and introduces a holistic and process‐based model in the context of cognitive and institutional environmental factors. The Ambidextrous Model of Entrepreneurship and Social Value Creation is valuable in order to inspire future researches, especially in EM.
