Narratives of Recovery from Mental Illness presents research that
challenges the prevailing view that recovery from 'mental illness'
must take place within the boundaries of traditional mental health
services. While Watts and Higgins accept that medical treatment may
be a vital start to some people's recovery, they argue that mental
health problems can also be resolved through everyday social
interactions, and through peer and community support. Using a
narrative approach, this book presents detailed recovery stories of
26 people who received various diagnoses of 'mental illness' and
were involved in a mutual help group known as 'GROW'. Drawing on an
in-depth analysis of each story, chapters offer new understandings
of the journey into mental distress and a progressive entrapment
through a combination of events, feelings, thoughts and
relationships. The book also discusses the process of ongoing
personal liberation and healing which assists recovery, and
suggests that friendship, social involvement, compassion, and
nurturing processes of change all play key factors in improved
mental well-being. This book provides an alternative way of looking
at 'mental illness' and demonstrates many unexplored avenues and
paths to recovery that need to be considered. As such, it will be
of interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in
the fields of psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work and
occupational therapy, as well as to service providers, policymakers
and peer support organisations. The narratives of recovery within
the book should also be a source of hope to people struggling with
'mental illness' and emotional distress

This textbook explores issues central to the provision of
recovery-orientated care based on ethical principles and human
rights perspectives. Written by academics and nurse practitioners,
this comprehensive text draws together theory, research and
practice to map the landscape of Advanced Practice in Mental Health
Nursing (APMHN) in Europe. Underpinned by a rights- and relational-
based approach to care, the textbook is organized around six
themes: theoretical and historical perspectives; foundations for
collaborative working; therapeutic engagement in different
contexts; beyond the clinical dimension of the APMHN role;
advancing the evidence-based practice agenda and emerging issues
and challenges. Each theme consists of a number of chapters that
are designed to address different aspects of APMHN. With a focus on
illuminating the collaborating aspect of their role and advancing
nurses' competencies, debates and guidance are provided in areas
such as therapeutic alliance, assessment, care-planning, mental
health promotion, family work, trauma, diversity and culture,
spirituality, risk and uncertainty, and prescribing. In addition to
addressing the leadership, education and advocacy role, specific
chapters explore the APMHN role in linking evidence to practice, in
the participatory generation of evidence and maintaining
professional competence. With a focus on future challenges and
opportunities the textbook concludes with discussion on issues,
such as eMental Health and future challenges and possibilities
facing APMHNs, including challenges in informing policy,
democratizing services, working across service and disciplinary
boundaries, collaboratively shaping the evidence agenda, as well
sustaining their role into the future. Within the book theoretical
debate is grounded in case studies and/or examples from across
Europe. This textbook is especially relevant to Mental Health
Nurses undertaking studies at the Advanced Practice level. It is
also suited to all Mental Health Nurses studying at post-graduate
level who wish to advance their practice irrespective of the
country. Educators, researchers and policy-makers involved in the
area of Mental Health and Advanced Nursing Practice along with
people with lived experiences will find the text of relevance.
