Recovery is a concept which has emerged from the experiences of people
with mental illness. It involves a shift away from traditional
clinical preoccupations such as managing risk and avoiding relapse,
towards new priorities of supporting the person in working towards
their own goals and taking responsibility for their own life. This
book sets an agenda for mental health services internationally, by
converting these ideas of recovery into an action plan for
professionals. The underlying principles are explored, and five
reasons identified for why supporting recovery should be the primary
goal. A new conceptual basis for mental health services is described -
the Personal Recovery Framework - which gives primacy to the person
over the illness, and identifies the contribution of personal and
social identity to recovery. These are brought to life through
twenty-six case studies from around the world.
