  1. Andrea R Moreno A.1. IND 5626 Schizophrenia: Programming Needs for Humanized Environments “If we plant a seed in a desert and it fails to grow, do we ask, "What is wrong with the seed?" No. The real conspiracy lies in this: to look at the environment around the seed and to ask, "What must change in this environment such that the seed can grow?" The real conspiracy that we are participating in here today is to stop saying what's wrong with psychiatric survivors and to start asking: "How do we create hope filled, humanized environments and relationships in which people can grow?" - Patricia E. Deegan, Ph.D.
