Abstract:
Policy initiatives are calling for mental health services to change their ways of working to prioritising the promotion of service users’ personal recovery. This requires a major re-negotiation of working practices and the relationship between service users and staff/services and their respective social positions. Preliminary research has shown that change has been problematic. The present study aimed to explore the construction of recovery and the positioning of service users and staff during the adoption of recovery-oriented practices in a community support and recovery team.

Recovery has become a guiding principle for mental health service delivery. This thesis aimed to address gaps in the recovery literature and is presented as three papers: (1) a systematic literature review, (2) an empirical study and (3) a critical reflection.

Abstract:
The full experience of mental illness cannot be described in isolation from the context in which one lives, yet the internal physical manifestation of symptoms has been the focus of treatment in western cultures. The “recovery” paradigm is emerging as best-practice philosophy for mental health practice and represents a significant departure from existing standards thereby challenging mental health organizations to re-negotiate their relationship with the dominant bio-medical model. Despite the growing acceptance of recovery philosophy, literature exploring large-scale recovery-oriented organiz

Abstract:
Background: Recovery has come to mean living a life beyond mental illness, and mental health services are encouraged to consider their role in supporting recovery. Staff perspectives are central to understanding how recovery support can be adopted in mental health care, because staff provide front-line services and are the vehicle bridging the gap between policy rhetoric and clinical practice. Aims: To explore staff perspectives on supporting recovery and to identify factors that help or hinder their efforts to provide support for recovery.

Background: Within the recovery literature there has been a drive towards obtaining service users' conceptualisations of recovery as opposed to medicalised conceptualisations, in order to inform service provision.

People who are mentally unwell and have committed a criminal offence are cared for by forensic mental health services.

The complex nature of the mental health difficulties experienced by this clinical population means that they are typically treated in secure hospitals for several years, incurring high economic and personal costs.

This thesis explores the emergence of recovery in/from serious mental health problems as a conceptual frame, and as a set of practices and policy orientations. I provide a specific empirical account of recovery in practice. “Recovery” has multiple meanings and is enmeshed in on-going challenges to the validity of biomedical psychiatry as a medical science. It emerges, in part, out of psychiatric survivor/user activists’ contention that psychiatric discourse prevents the possibility of recovery. In academic literature, it is framed as a new paradigm in mental healthcare in which patients and pr

For people with mental health problems gaining employment is a significant factor in social inclusion and often seen as an indication of mental well-being. Mental health services are dominated by a medical model of illness which focuses on the control of symptoms. In recent decades, service users have written about their experiences of "recovery" from mental illness. Recovery is about the subjective experience of wellness and can exist even if symptoms remain. This research was designed following an observation that employment seemed to be a significant factor in people's recovery. Research wa

The relationship between mental health and public health has been debated for decades.

One of the latest trends in mental health service delivery is the recovery concept. Developed in the 1990’s, the recovery concept represents a paradigm shift where successful treatment is defined by self-awareness, self-care, and self-fulfillment. Furthermore, patients are encouraged to assess their own progress in the recovery process. There are currently nine unique assessment

Mental illness affects one in five Canadians and this number is higher among post-secondary students (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2012). Over the last three decades, studies have sought to determine how many students have mental health concerns in hope of substantiating the need for more support and funding for mental health services on campus. Knowledge gained from these studies is often seeped in a bio-medical perspective of mental health and illness, where the students’ mental health concerns are problematized and the target of psy interventions. What is lacking is an understanding

Abstract:
The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 launched the deinstitutionalization movement, whereby individuals with serious mental illnesses were released from psychiatric hospitals and began living and receiving mental health care in the community (Carling, 1995). However, these actions have not necessarily integrated those individuals into all aspects of community life (Dewees, Pulice, & McCormick, 1996). This is unfortunate because people with serious mental illnesses frequently report that community integration is not only important to them, but that it also aids in reducing symptoms and promot

Abstract:
<p> Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) exhibit low motivation to participate in educational leisure activities at Clubhouses accredited by Clubhouse International (CI). This correlational study examined the relationship between each of 4 motives, intellectual, social, competence-mastery, and stimulus-avoidance, to engage in leisure activities, and the perception of recovery from SMI. Knowles&rsquo;s theory of andragogy supported the concept of informal self-directed learning, which occurs with leisure activities. Literature indicates that participating in leisure activities such as

Abstract:
<p> This dissertation seeks to understand how five women currently enrolled in doctoral level psychology programs emotionally and relationally experience the process of recovery from an eating disorder. Contemporary interdisciplinary discourses are inconsistent in their discussion of recovery, with differing accounts of what constitutes recovery and the typical course of recovery. Using a voice-centered and relational approach, I interviewed five female doctoral-level students in the fields of clinical and counseling psychology about their experience of recovering from eating disorders.
