Perspective matters in recovery: the views of persons with severe mental illness, family and mental health professionals on collaboration during recovery, a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recovery from severe mental illness, including psychosis has been described as a personal and unique process, but it rarely is a journey undertaken without profound influences of significant others (family, mental health professionals). Diverging perspectives between persons with severe mental illness, family and professionals are frequent during the recovery process, notably in psychotic disorders. We aimed to explore processes of collaboration during recovery, to inform recovery supporting practices.

Methods

Current qualitative study had a participatory design and was set within long-term mental healthcare for severe mental illness. We conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with persons with severe mental illness (most had a history of psychosis),
