Description
Voicing Psychotic Experiences explores the process of recovery from psychosis, although is applicable to recovery from all mental health problems, by looking at definitions, research, diversity and personal experiences. This handbook presents a series of recovery narratives with the aim of giving an insight into the process of recovery with each chapter clearly pulling out 'lessons learnt' for practice. The authors challenge the notion that one single model of recovery can be an adequate operational model and they instead offer a qualitative evidence base for understanding psychotic experience(s) as part of a diverse recovery spectrum
