Recovery-Oriented Intersectoral Care in Mental Health: As Perceived by Healthcare Professionals and Users

“…Users are subject to clinical recovery, which is ill an approach, which other studies demonstrate, dominating Western mental healthcare [ 38 , 41 ]. Several studies explain the maintenance of a paternalistic control as part of the development of society, where, for example, economy, efficiency and medical evidence are more important as orientation than the user’s own experiences and opinions [ 13 ]. Another problem is that users are retained under medical treatment despite submitting psychosocial plans for how they can cope with various mental challenges.…”

There are only a few studies that focus on coherent intersectoral care in a psychiatric context [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. These studies highlight issues concerning inadequate communication and coordination across the professional services [ 19 ].…”
