“…The MHRM had a related peer-reviewed publication, describing the qualitative research on which it was based (Young and Ensing, 1999). These were included in the research, along with the SISR, a measure developed specifically for the project based on the stage model of recovery (Andresen et al, 2003).…”

“…They refer to the establishment of a meaningful and fulfilling life, a positive sense of identity and taking responsibility for one's own wellbeing (e.g. Anthony, 1993;Andresen et al, 2003;Resnick et al, 2005;Slade et al, 2008).…”

“…Concurrent with demands for recovery-oriented services, policies internationally are requiring evidence-based mental health services. While traditional outcome measures have tended to assess such things as symptoms, hospitalisations and functioning, and stem from medical conceptualisations of mental illness, consumers describe the experience of psychological recovery which can take place (a) in the presence of ongoing or recurring symptoms, (b) with choice regarding the use of medications, and (c) while choosing to access services and/or hospital treatment (Andresen et al, 2003). The recovery vision is one of attaining a productive and fulfilling life regardless of the presence of recurring symptoms (Crowley, 1997).…”

“…The recovery vision is one of attaining a productive and fulfilling life regardless of the presence of recurring symptoms (Crowley, 1997). This entails an examination of one's core self to find a foundation for building a meaningful life in a personally-valued role (Andresen et al, 2003). Measures of symptoms, medication compliance, service utilisation and skills largely exclude these intrapersonal processes of psychological recovery, and so do not reflect the consumer definition of recovery.…”

There is an international call for mental health services to become recovery-oriented, and also to use evidence based practices. Addressing this call requires recovery-oriented measurement of outcomes and service evaluation.Mental health consumers view recovery as leading as meaningful life, and have criticised traditional clinical measures for being too disability-oriented. This study compares three measures of consumer-defined recovery fromenduring mental illness: the Recovery Assessment Scale, the Mental Health Recovery Measure and the Self-Identified Stage of Recovery, with four conventional clinical measures. Correlational analyses supported the convergent validity of the recovery measures, although certain subscaleswere unrelated to each other. More importantly, little relationship was found between consumer-defined recovery and the clinical measures. Analyses of variance revealed that scores on the recovery measures increased across self-identified stage of recovery, but scores onmost clinicalmeasures did not improve consistently across stage of recovery. The findings demonstrate the qualitative difference between the two types of measures, supporting the claim by consumers that clinical measures do not assess important aspects of recovery. There is a need for further research and refinement of recovery measurement, including assessment of stages of recovery, with the aimof including such measures as an adjunct in routine clinical assessment, service evaluation and research. © 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

“…Through the MTW, the hospital is working with identity as a key in people’s recovery processes (Andresen, Oades, & Caputi, 2003; Davidson & White, 2007; Salzmann-Erikson, 2013; Slade et al, 2012). As recovery is a personal and a social process (Topor, Borg, Di Girolamo, & Davidson, 2011), with no endpoint (Deegan, 1997), identity transformation can be the same.…”

Background: There is a growing understanding that mental health problems and prolonged contact with mental healthcare systems can affect people’s identities. Working with identity is an important element in mental health recovery. Purpose: In this article, we explore the significance of participation in a music and theatre workshop in terms of people`s experiences of identity. Design and methods: This is a qualitative study based on a hermeneutical phenomenological epistemology. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with 11 participants at a music and theater workshop, analysed through a narrative analysis and presented in an ideographical “long” narrative form. The music and theater workshop is not overtly therapeutic although the activity takes place in a Norwegian mental health hospital for adults living with long-term mental health problems. Results: We identified three crosscutting themes: (1) becoming a whole person, (2) being allowed to hold multiple identities and (3) exploring diverse perspectives. Conclusion: Findings show that participation in the music and theatre workshop transformed the participants’ experiences of identity on two levels: individually and collectively. The participants developed a broader picture of themselves through their creative work with others. When they developed new identities, the narratives of themselves expanded.
