Recovery: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners

"Recovery: a guide for mental health practitioners charts the journey of recovery from severe and disabling mental health problems. It is an optimistic book that challenges the prevailing notion that recovery is an outcome open only to a minority. It describes the necessary transformation of mental health services into a recovery culture within which people can regain a sense of wellbeing and better quality of life. Central to this journey are recovery relationships out of which hope, self-belief, resolve and direction are co-created and sustained. At the heart of the book are five recovery stories, which are a testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit that enables us to rise above adversity and come through."--BOOK JACKET.Watkins, Peter is the author of 'Recovery: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners', published 2007 under ISBN 9780750688802 and ISBN 0750688807.
