Summary

Recovery in Mental Illness: Broadening Our Understanding of Wellness explores what recovery means from various perspectives, drawing from sociological models and from qualitative studies that incorporate mental health consumers' subjective experiences. Readers seeking to better understand the nature of wellness will find a rich and nuanced discussion of recovery as process, outcome, and natural occurrence. Researchers and therapists alike will benefit from this examination of evidence-based services and consumer-endorsed practices that may not be measurable by traditional quantitative methodologies.
