Although it is widely agreed that the experiences of service users
have much to offer mental health professionals, the majority of
books for this group focus on either conditions or different types
of service provision (acute, community). This book is different. It
takes as its starting point the lived experience of recovery which
is the process whereby individuals can be helped to understand and
come to terms with their illness. The role and actions of mental
health professionals is explored as part of the process of
recovery. The major part of the book will focus on ways in which
direct care staff can assist people with mental health problems,
reflecting the accounts of the nature and type of assistance which
have been valuable, and the ways in which such help can best be
offered. It addresses two key components of recovery accessand
inclusion to life opportunities and acceptance. Each chapter of the
book looks at an aspect of recovery and clearly shows how
practitioners must accept the individuals needs and work with them
towards this goalBased on users' experiences Focus on recovery as
both a personal journey and goal and the basis for care and
interventions Addresses key issues - access and social inclusion
Practical guidance in implementing a new model of mental health
practice.
