This book takes a lofty vision of "recovery" and of "a life in the
community" for every adult with a serious mental illness promised
by the U.S. President's 2003 New Freedom Commission on Mental
Health and shows the reader what is entailed in making this vision
a reality. Beginning with the historical context of the recovery
movement and its recent emergence on the center stage of mental
health policy around the world, the authors then clarify various
definitions of mental health recovery and address the most common
misconceptiosn of recovery held by skeptical practitioners and
wroried families. With this framework in place, the authors suggest
fundamental principles for recovery-oreinted care, a set of
concrete practice guidelines developed in and for the field, a
recovery guide model of practice as an alternative to clinical case
management, and tools to self-assess the recovery orientation of
practices and practitioners. In doing so, this volume represents
the first book to go beyond the rhetoric of recovery to its
implementation in everyday practice. Much of this work was
developed with the State of Connecticut's Department of Mental
Health and Addiction Services, helping the state to win a #1
ranking in the recent NAMI report card on state mental health
authorities. Since initial development of these principles,
guidelines, and tools in Connecticut, the authors have become
increasingly involved in refining and tailoring this approach for
other systems of care around the globe as more and more
governments, ministry leaders, system managers, practitioners, and
people with serious mental illnesses nad their families embrace the
need to transform mental health services to promote recovery and
community inclusion. If you've wondered what all of the recent
to-do has been about with the notion of "recovery" in mental
health, this book explains it. In addition, it gives you an
insider's view of the challenges and strategies involved in
transforming to recovery and a road map to follow on the first few
steps down this exciting, promising, and perhaps long overdue path.
