Teaching Clinicians the Practice of Recovery-Oriented Care

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Evidence-Based Practices in Behavioral Health ((EBPBH))

Abstract

For recovery-oriented care to be implemented, clinicians who are typically indoctrinated into traditional models of mental health care will need to be effectively taught the key principles, processes, and practices of recovery-oriented care. This chapter addresses this challenge by first examining reports of efforts to teach recovery-oriented care and then presenting a conceptual model based on the theoretical and empirical literature pertaining to effective methods of teaching and implementing changes in patient care practices. In consideration of this recovery teaching-learning model, the following components are examined: (1) the content that needs to be taught; (2) the characteristics of the targeted learners that would influence the teaching-learning process; (3) the characteristics of the training providers that would best facilitate desired outcomes; and (4) general teaching strategies designed to promote adoption of recovery-oriented care. This chapter concludes with a review of some of the significant challenges to the teaching and implementation of a recovery orientation to mental health care. These challenges include an insufficient workforce to provide the mental health care that is needed for our society today, a drift toward primarily psychopharmacological management with little time available to address recovery-oriented matters, and a mental health system that has become focused on crisis stabilization rather than the longer term goals that are the focus of recovery. It is proposed that overcoming these challenges to the teaching and implementation of recovery-oriented care will require administrative leadership and support as well as ample exposure to recovery stories that can inspire genuine change in clinicians’ attitudes and practice behaviors.
