The use of first-hand service user accounts of mental illness is
still limited in the professional literature available. This is,
however, beginning to change, with a new 'recovery' focus in mental
health services meaning that the voices of service users are
finally being heard. Recovering from Psychosis: Empirical Evidence
and Lived Experience synthesises a narrative approach alongside an
evidence-based review of current treatment by including Stephen
Williams' own personal experience as it relates to psychosis,
recovery and treatment. A mental health professional himself, the
author's account of his own recovery from severe mental health
difficulties, without sustained intervention, challenges the
orthodoxy of representation of service users in mental health.
Recovering from Psychosis critically explores and reviews the
current state of the art of research and knowledge about the nature
and treatment of psychosis. Working simultaneously from empirical,
lived experience and philosophical perspectives, Stephen Williams:
Evaluates political and power related issues in professional
understanding, knowledge-creation and treatment of people with
psychosis; Introduces the current 'recovery movement', unpacking
its origins and implications for the future development of
'recovery oriented services'; Reviews, summarizes and critiques the
current state of 'recovery' research, looking at the advantages and
disadvantages of such an approach, examining how this is
influencing the transformation of UK mental health services;
Analyses the difficulties in organisational implementation of
recovery approaches, summarises the most empirically robust
approaches to practice, personal and service delivery measurement;
Reviews current 'models' of psychosis and how various professional
scientific groups explain the experience and nature of psychosis;
Uses lived-experience accounts taken from the scientific
literature, portraying the nature of such experiences and analysing
them in the face of contemporary psychological models. Recovering
from Psychosis is an essential comprehensive guide for mental
health professionals, psychologists, social workers and carers, who
are working with people with severe and enduring mental health
difficulties diagnosed as psychosis. It addresses the practical
implications of working with such difficult conditions and serves
as a hopeful story of recovery for service users.
