Abstract

For psychiatrists, other professionals, and treatment teams the application of essential recovery principles to the treatment of involuntarily admitted individuals in public hospital settings can be difficult to conceptualize and implement. The interfaces among hope, choice, connection, respect, purpose, sensitivity to trauma, aggression, self-injury, medication refusal, Court supervision, and other risks require thoughtfulness and ongoing vigilance. This chapter focuses on how key recovery principles should manifest in the assessment, planning, treatment activities, and discharge planning conducted by psychiatrists and other professionals in their roles as treatment team members with high risk or treatment refractory individuals. Also, it addresses how recovery principles should be integrated into tasks primarily conducted by psychiatrists in public inpatient settings, e.g., admission, discharge, and medication practices, including provisions for medications over objection. Finally, it addresses leadership functions and the demonstration of recovery principles in the work environment.
