Historical Context…..
![Page 3: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What was the Historical context?
• Diagnosis implied life long deterioration
• Diagnosis implied only role available was that of service recipient/ client/ patient
• Categories of service limited
• (i.e. hospital vs. supervised housing; day programs vs. sheltered work)
Farkas 2000

Current thinking… Diagnosis does not predict success ( eg Razzano et al., 2005)
Prognosis may be interaction of
impairment process, local environment/treatment process, active agency of person ( Hopper et al., 2007)
Medication alone does not promote
community functioning and success (Swartz, Perkins, Stroup 2007)
Farkas 2011
![Page 5: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Current thinking…
People with serious mental illnesses want and have many roles- wife, homemaker, worker, student ( Ellison et al., 2008; Rogers et al, 1991)
Service categories have to include a full
range of options in the “real world” (Farkas & Anthony, 1989; Farkas 2006)
Farkas 2011
![Page 6: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Reducing mental illnesses does not mean increasing mental health
Determinants of mental well being (produced socially) not same as determinants of mental illnesses (produced biologically/ environmentally etc) (Huppert, 2008; Primm et al, 2010; WHO 2009)
![Page 7: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Findings About Health Promotion Added to Imperative to change our paradigm…
Mental illnesses are both a direct cause of mortality and morbidity and significant risk factor for poorer economic, health and social outcomes ( WHO 2005; 2006)
Wellbeing/mental health also influences better physical health, improved recovery, higher educational attainment, greater productivity, better relationships, social cohesion, improved QOL ( WHO 2004; Barry &
Jenkins, 2007; Primm et al, 2010)
![Page 8: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why did the field begin “adopting” Recovery as a legitimate vision ?
Known in the literature for at least 40 years (eg. Bleuler, 1972, Ciompi et al., 1976; Harding et al.,1987)
First person accounts - much longer (eg. Deegan 1990; 1993; Ridgway, 2001; Spaniol et al, 1999)
Research examining concepts of recovery, its process and its outcomes (eg. Davidson, Harding et al, 2005; Farkas 2007; Harding & Zhaniser, 1994; Liberman et al., 2002; Ridgway 2001; Silverstein & Bellack 2008
Farkas, 2011

Systematic review across countries
Claiming, reclaiming meaningful life; Home, health community, purpose

復元(fu yuan) meaning regaining vitality, life force
Tse et al., 2012
Processes related to ideas of connectedness ,identity, meaning , empowerment

Most used definition of Recovery
Development of new meaning and purpose as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of a psychiatric history and experiences of mental illness. ( Adapted from Anthony 1993)
Or in summary- claiming or reclaiming a meaningful life
( Farkas, 2007)
![Page 12: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is Recovery
A vision/ overall goal for services and systems
Transformation of the paradigm with which services are delivered
Farkas,2007, Anthony et al., 2002
![Page 13: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is Recovery?
A process, an individual experience,
variety of multidimensional outcomes
Recovery is the process of reclaiming a meaningful life
E.g. (re/)Gaining a valued role; reducing symptoms; increased physical health, sense of well being, increased interpersonal connections etc.
Farkas, 2007; Anthony, Cohen, Farkas et
al, 2002
![Page 14: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
I spent 20 years in therapy and life experience trying to recover from a psychiatric disability. I began my formal recovery at the age of 15 in my first of a long line of hospitalizations at an area State Hospital and later in both private and public mental hospitals.
Jean
What does it mean at a personal level?
![Page 15: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Jean’s Story– What does Recovery mean ?
• I was afraid that my past history of trauma and hospitalizations had almost sealed my fate.
• School was my only area of competency
• A professor encouraged me, asked me to tell my recovery story… and then to represent people in recovery at a conference… slowly over time I realized I had something to offer
![Page 16: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Jean’s story I developed a career that helped me
move from a shame based existence to now-making $45, 000.00 a year-at the precipice of my new life.
When my feelings and thoughts are being challenged by dissociation and flash backs, at 35, work is my lifeline and my support.
![Page 17: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Jean’s definition of her recovery
Work, making real friends, literally having a place to live all these have been the great blessings in my life that for me, show me that I have indeed recovered from mental illness-- from internal stigma and the self-fulfilling prophecy of assuming that I had nothing to offer
![Page 18: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Recovery Outcomes and Health Promotion: Compare these with measures of positive mental health
• Gaining/regaining a valued role, i.e. student, worker, family member, tenant
• Experiencing increased success and satisfaction in these roles
• Reducing/controlling symptoms
• Increased sense of self-efficacy
• Increased feelings of well being
• Increased number or quality of interpersonal connections
• Increased measures of physical health
• Increased sense of self-esteem (Farkas & Gagne, 2001)
• resilience,
• self esteem,
• optimism,
• life satisfaction,
• hopefulness,
• meaning in life,
• social
integration ( eg
Parkinson, 2008)
![Page 19: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What do we know from Research? : Major Themes Recovery is possible and has been known
for 40 years ( e.g. Buber, 1972; Harding et al., 1994; Hooper et al, 2001
Recovery is a complex, non-linear and multi-dimensional process and can be described
Recovery is a highly individualized process
with multiple explanatory models used
Recovery can occur with or without professional intervention
Adapted, Anthony, Cohen ,Farkas ,Gagne
2002
![Page 20: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
So is Recovery different from just “good practice” ?
This question often is a global way of expressing concerns about the emergence of this concept and the challenges it can pose.
Farkas 2012
![Page 21: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How is it different from good practice ? … Some major differences are…
“Good practice” can be good rehabilitation, treatment, case management etc.
These are services
Recovery, on the other hand, is the person’s experience of a journey which can be promoted or facilitated by services….or not
Farkas 2012
![Page 22: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
So how is it different from good practice
Interventions for mental illnesses often focus on controlling/ reducing/ fixing a problem or barrier through the role of “person in authority/ person in charge of” to reduce suffering and hopefully improve a person’s life
Interventions that are recovery oriented, look to promote person’s own long term vision of a meaningful life through the roles of teacher, coach, consultant to the expert in the recovery process—the person him/herself Farkas 2012
![Page 23: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What are some of the concerns about recovery as a concept.. Recovery is an irresponsible fad
Recovery is old news
Recovery happens for very few people
Recovery means the person is cured
Recovery can be implemented only through introduction of new services
(Summarized by Davidson et al., 2006)
![Page 24: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
As an aside…What is the major barrier to developing a recovery vision for systems?
Many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices..
William James
![Page 25: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1. Recovery is an irresponsible fad: Is it a Fad?
Recovery has been present in the literature for over 40 years
People in recovery have written first person accounts detailing their recovery
It is now the official policy of several countries
Farkas 2012
![Page 26: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2. Recovery is old news ..so… how come the stakeholders don’t know it ?
If we are already “doing it” why is there consensus that mental health care is in serious need of reform, is not producing effective outcomes and that recovery should be the overall objective of the system ? (e.g.
in the U.S.--IOM, 2006; Surgeon General report, 1999; New Freedom Commission, 2003; MH Reform Commission in NZ., reform in Scotland, in England etc)
Farkas 2012
![Page 27: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
2. Recovery is old news ....so how come the stakeholders don’t know it ? In many countries, people with serious
mental illness are still not well represented in the world of work; are not in post secondary education representational to their numbers in the population; are over represented in the criminal justice population…
If ½ to 2/3 of those with lived experience are not achieving a meaningful life—how can recovery be “old news”?
Farkas 2012

4. Does it mean person is cured? Remember these outcomes identified by people themselves ?
Gaining/regaining a valued role, i.e. student, worker, family member, tenant
Experiencing increased success and satisfaction in these roles
Reducing/controlling symptoms Increased sense of self-efficacy Increased feelings of well being Increased number or quality of
interpersonal connections Increased measures of physical health Increased sense of self-esteem

introduction of new services ?

5. Recovery is introduction of new services…Change vs Transformation
We can change a system by promoting centralization, decentralization, coordination, adding services, selecting some services to improve their effectiveness
We transform a system by changing the paradigm with which services are conducted
Farkas, 2011
![Page 32: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Why are services coordinated around a recovery vision so important ? …….
“Life lived within the confines of the human service …[sic]…….is a life in which the freedom to become & make your own future is diminished…..It is nearly impossible to make your own future when you are not part of the …….[sic] fabric of the culture you live in…”
(Patricia Deegan, Phd., World Congress Rehab
International: Oslo, Norway – June, 2004)

Recovery should be the integrative mission of all services
![Page 34: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Will Recovery replace rehabilitation?.. What is rehabilitation all about in a recovery era ? Rehabilitation is a systematic approach that
contributes to overall recovery by :
Developing relationships where the individual is the expert regarding his or her own recovery
Organizing interventions to ensure that people have a good chance to reach one aspect of their hopes and dreams—i.e. valued roles-- the cornerstone of recovery
Farkas 2012
![Page 35: Marianne Farkas Professor Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020704/61fb4cb22e268c58cd5c8789/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Promoting recovery requires a transformation Creating services/systems that: a support a personal journey with an array of
commonly identified outcomes, reflecting the (re)claiming of a meaningful life
Facilitate this journey by basing service on a
set of values expressed in the infrastructure and daily practice of services/system
Facilitate this journey using a set of competencies within a partnership that alter the way in which any intervention is delivered
Farkas, 2011

Population wide interventions on health/mental health
policies, financing, credentialing, system evaluation etc) match recovery mission

More than “old wine in new bottles” ?-Point is rather--make whatever wine it is using these fundamentals:
“Nothing about us without us”- design, deliver, evaluate services with people in recovery
Strengthening well being of communities provides resources for people to work on their own well being and recovery
Investing in people rather than investing in buildings ( eg teaching; providing flexible support; respite ; recovery awards; developing and supporting peers etc)
Researching/Evaluating progress using qualitative/quantitative methods to measure recovery outcomes (discussed earlier) to create “recovery report cards”
Farkas 2012

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be first overcome. ~Samuel Johnson, Rasselas, 1759
