“…Recovery processes often occur beyond the scope of the mental health system and its professionals, and they are unique to each individual. Recovery involves the contributions from other people, relationships, and networks as well as society and the social environment, but it also requires material resources (e.g., housing, occupational support, and medical treatment) and responsive services that provide counseling and support to achieve security for the patient (Marin et al, 2005).…”

This article analyzes the state of community mental health services for people with psychiatric disabilities and the interplay between different organizational levels. The study is based on document analysis and interviews with stakeholders in 10 Swedish municipalities. The results show how systems are slow to change and are linked to local traditions. The services are often delivered in closed settings, and the organizations struggle to meet the needs of a new generation of users. There is a gap between local systems and national policies because the latter pays attention to the attributes of a recovery approach.

Introduction Ageing with mental illness is a neglected area of research and policy. People who grow older to later life with ongoing mental health problems may not have their needs well understood. This understanding is important if mental health services are to ensure direct or indirect age discrimination is avoided. Aim This paper aims to explore issues relating to later life and ageing with mental illness focused on the story of Bernard (who was 84 years of age at the time of writing) who lived with a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Method The paper is co-authored by Bernard and the researcher he originally told his story to as a participant in a biographical research study exploring mental ill health through the life course. In the original research study, Bernard completed a curriculum vitae (CV) of his life which informed two personalised interviews. An edited version of this is presented in this paper. Implications for practice are discussed in the context of life course, recovery, self-help and preventing suicide. The narrative illustrates how time, memory and meaning interweave and how ageing with mental illness become part of a person's ongoing identity.

“…In such situations the aim of the recovery process is defined at the individual level and the central actor in the recovery process is the individual him-or herself (Strauss, 1994;Topor, 2001;Davidson, 2003). A number of studies have begun to shed light on the person's role as actor in the recovery process (Davidson, 2003;Marin et al, 2005;Mueser et al, 1997;Sullivan, 1994;Topor, 2001). There are also many autobiographical narratives in which individuals describe how they have taken control of their own lives (Beers, 1921(Beers, /1981Deegan, 1996;Leete, 1989).…”
