The Idea of Recovery

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Recovery in Inpatient Psychiatry

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

Abstract

The idea of recovery has revolutionized our understanding of mental illness and its treatment, yet its meanings are diverse and it is invoked in many different contexts. This chapter systematically analyzes the idea, as it is used in contemporary mental health research, practice, services and policy, the scientific and social issues that fall under its rubric, the evolution of related ideas that results in the current state of affairs, and where that evolution may take us in the foreseeable future. The materials for this analysis include the scientific literature and scholarly discourse on recovery, law, regulation and social policy, discourse in the mental health professions and service industry, and popular media. The conceptual challenge for understanding the meaning of recovery is not one of definition so much as selection, determining which paradigm of recovery is most pertinent to which context or application or person.
