Abstract
Abstract The concept of recovery, especially related to serious mental illnesses, is of great significance and relevance in rehabilitation processes. The concept itself emerged from two somewhat distinct bodies of knowledge, which have subsequently become known as clinical recovery and personal recovery. Clinical recovery involves permanent remission (i.e. getting back to normal), whereas personal recovery is living as well as possible, irrespective of the presence of symptoms. Personal and clinical recovery are related but distinct. The human rights of people with severe mental illnesses need proper recognition. Peer support among other models can help recovery. A diverse set of approaches is needed to promote personal recovery. This chapter describes various strategies to improve mental health services in order to deliver recovery both at personal and clinical levels. Recovery-based interventions can be successful in housing and employment. Educational approaches to mental health care can help to promote human rights of individuals with mental illnesses.
