Recovery: a selective review of the literature and resources

Abstract

There has been a huge increase in the literature and resources devoted to the topic of recovery. Unusually in the mental health field, recovery is a concept that has been embraced by service users, professionals, mental health planners and governments. In this review, the authors offer a selection of what they feel are the top 10 on the topic of recovery in the following categories: journal papers; policy papers and reports; books; and websites. Gordon McManus gives his personal thoughts on his reading around recovery. The review ends with some reflections on the topic.
