"This is an exciting and important book that is sure to stimulate dialogue and debate within the rapidly growing international recovery movement." (TMCnet.com, 5 December 2011)
This book addresses an international challenge in relation to
recovery: how to bring empirical investigation to the
consumer-developed understanding of recovery. The authors rise to
this challenge superbly. They rightly position recovery as arising
from the lived experience of people who use mental health services,
and then develop an empirically-based understanding of the stages
and processes of recovery. This empirical work has been
internationally influential and the detailed description will be of
wide interest. The authors then contextualise their work within the
field of positive psychology and well-being research -areas
which will directly inform the evolution of mental health services
in the 21st Century. I recommend this book, and hope it
is widely read.
--Mike Slade, Researcher
(researchintorecovery.com) and Author of 'Personal Recovery
and Mental Illness'
This book begins by examining the history of schizophrenia, and
discerning the roots of pessimism in its outlook. The authors then
introduce the concept of recovery, and their own model of its
process, which is via a series of stages, which they show can be
measured and used in treatment. One great value of a work such as
this is that it injects factors that are often lacking in treatment
environments, and sometimes in the minds of service providers,
namely hope and optimism. As such, this book will be, or should be,
of interest to all those who work with people with serious mental
illnesses.
--Tom Trauer, Professor, Department of
Psychiatry, University of Melbourne, Australia
This is an exciting and important book that is sure to stimulate
dialogue and debate within the rapidly growing international
recovery movement. Based on years of interviews of, and
conversations with, people with first-hand experiences of recovery
conducted by leading recovery researchers in Australia, this book
offers the beginning of a road map for the recovery journey that
will be found useful by people with serious mental illnesses, their
loved ones, and mental health practitioners alike.

Yale University
