Description
Book SynopsisThe 'Recovery Movement' is an attempt to consider people with mental illnesses first and foremost as individuals. Governments and planning bodies have made commitments to develop mental health policy and services towards recovery as a treatment option.
Trade Review"Overall, this book would be useful for students and practitioners who are familiar with the literature on recovery." (Mental Health Practice, 1 November 2011)
"This is an important contribution from international leads, which offers the reader interested in recovery an awareness of its substantial ethical and political foundations and the need to sustain a civil rights perspective." (British Journal of Psychiatry, 2011)
"Just as Tuke and the late 18th century reformers were bold in their vision of moral treatment, we need to be bold about recovery. Davidson et al. provide some of the conceptual and political framework for that vision, and it is these aspects of their book that will help practitioners build recovery focused mental health services." (Metapsychology, February 2011)"This book should be required reading for any young professional entering the mental health field. Education in the history of the development of applied psychology will often give the reader a self-satisfied glow. We know so much more now than in the days of insulin shock therapy, hydrotherapy, and psychoanalysis. The Roots of the Recovery Movement in Psychiatry: Lessons Learned drives home the point that we can learn as much from the successes of our predecessors as we can from their mistakes". (American Psychological Association, 17 November 2010)
"This book is a wonderful contribution to the literature attempting to untangle the web of what recovery truly means to individuals and how care can continue to evolve to meet the fundamental rights of human beings with serious mental illnesses." (Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Summer 2010)"However the book is not limited to the study of psychiatry- it illustrates how psychiatry has been influenced by other disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, political theory, and civil rights. This is the major strength of this book." (British Journal of Wellbeing, September 2010)
