This book develops the understanding of recovery and aims to
inspire professionals working with people with long-term mental
health problems, their carers, and most importantly the service
users themselves. There are two parts of this book. The first
considers the contribution people like Isaac Newton, Charles
Darwin, Florence Nightingale, Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln
have made to society and how they could be considered to be mental
health recovery heroes and how their lives were shaped and in fact
enhanced by their mental illnesses. The second provides narratives
from 15 contemporary recovery heroes who have lived experience of
mental health problems. Each has contributed to our developing
understanding of recovery and each has made a unique contribution
to the field. This book aims to inspire readers by offering brief
accounts of past and present recovery heroes. Vital information
for: carers, practitioners, students, academics, service providers,
service users
Stories of Addiction Recovery explores first-hand structured
accounts of addiction recovery through the G-CHIME model. G-CHIME
is an adaptation to the CHIME model of mental health recovery,
specifically targeted at addiction recovery. Identifying important
components of recovery (Growth, Connectedness, Hope, Identity,
Meaning in life, and Empowerment), G-CHIME considers aspects of
positive psychology such as empowerment and hope as well as
recognizing elements of addiction recovery such as connection and
meaning in life. Publishing recovery stories in this way Stories of
Addiction Recovery contributes positive literature to an area that
is conventionally viewed with a negative bias, building away from
the long-standing stigmatization associated with addiction and
substance misuse. The first-hand accounts of shared experiences,
lessons learnt, and the growth achieved can highlight to others
what is possible in their own recovery.
There has been an abundance of research carried out relating to the
use of positive psychology, but a focus on staff working in care
settings has been lacking. Positive Psychology for Healthcare
Professionals presents applied positive psychology specifically for
health and care staff, showcasing eleven different interventions
that have proven to be effective in improving wellbeing. Positive
Psychology Interventions are validated techniques, developed to
include wellbeing enhancing activities, building effective
user-friendly, cost-effective self-help strategies. This toolkit
for improving wellbeing provides a more holistic roadmap to
increase self-awareness of staff abilities, potential talents, and
positive characteristics, through a strengths-based approach.
This book will be the first to focus exclusively on inpatient
therapeutic groupwork in acute psychiatry, from a
multi-disciplinary perspective. All authors are active groupwork
practitioners, who provide vivid case material providing unique
insights into the group process. Writers make the argument for the
importance of therapeutic groupwork in acute inpatient settings.
They describes survey data that show an absence of therapeutic
activity on wards and the need for a 'culture of participation'.
They describes some national schemes designed to improve the
situation, such as the Star Wards initiative. Two authors look the
state of research on therapeutic groupwork in inpatient settings,
and suggest how the evidence base might be strengthened. The book
will be of great value to any mental health professional, whether
qualified or in training. Although reflecting experience in British
clinical settings, the issues raised have a wider interest for
those working to achieve excellent acute inpatient psychiatric
settings in other countries.
