A New Vision of Recovery: People Can Fully Recover From Mental Illness; It is Not a Life-Long Process

Daniel Fisher

Abstract

These days people are talking about recovery from mental illness. This is a great step forward. Even using the word recovery in a field too long dominated by the goal of stabilization is refreshing. But whose vision of recovery are people talking about? I thought we were all talking about the same view of recovery. I see two distinctly different visions of recovery emerging, however. We will call these the Rehabilitation and Empowerment views of recovery.
