David Whitwell's thesis is that it is not conventional psychiatric
treatment that is key to recovery but non-specific aspects of care
such as support, safety, general health, good relationships. The
author's conclusion is that recovery should be adopted as the goal
of mental health services. Treatment then becomes just one option
that can be used in certain situations, for example acute
psychiatry becomes a particular set of procedures for dealing with
essentially urgent and dangerous situations - as a special kind of
first aid which needs to be fitted into the individual's long-term
recovery plan.
