Abstract:
Interest in the ability of people to recover from a severe mental illness has a long history. During the 1980s, however, there was a paradigm shift away research driven by clinicians immersed in the quantitative, objective microcosm of anatomy and physiology towards understanding recovery from a consumer perspective. Even so the experiences of consumers has remained relatively unexplored, with the lion's share of research emanating from the United States of America. At the time of writing the proposal for this study in 2000, there was not even one Australian study of a mental health consumer p

Abstract:
This thesis offers a critical consideration of the recovery approach to severe and enduring mental-health problems (Roberts & Boardman, 2013; Anthony, 1993), with the primary-research element focused on recovery after forensic secure care. A systematic review of qualitative research into recovery processes was conducted, using best-fit framework synthesis as a method of analysis (chapter 2). An expansion of the CHIME recovery model (Leamy et al., 2011) is proposed, in which the difficulties experienced by service users are more prominently considered.

Abstract:
One of the assumptions made when mental problems are defined as a medical problem is that certain problems, certain diagnoses, are chronic. Nevertheless, a substantial number of follow-up studies have shown that the course of development in patients with these diagnoses is neither uniform nor chronic. The aim of this dissertation is to summarise the state of the art in the knowledge about recovery from severe mental disorders and to examine in depth which factors people who have recovered regard as having helped them in their recovery, and in which ways.
