From People in Recovery Psychiatrists hinder recovery by “viewing crises as something to be medicated away or restrained away instead of opportunities for people to learn and grow.” “It’s no good when things feel clinical, when it is all about the medications and symptoms, and not about the rest of my life.” “Psychiatrists must not lose sight of how fearful it is for someone to lose control of their mind.” “The most powerful thing anyone said to me was ‘I have so much hope for you.’’’ Recovery to Practice - Psychiatrists

Recovery to Practice - Psychiatrists From Psychiatrists “Change the goal of services from treating illness to helping people rebuild lives.” Recovery oriented practice for psychiatrists: “We’re talking about a fundamental change in values, not just a change in techniques.” “Believing in the possibility of recovery is key; I want psychiatrists to believe that consumers can recover and to have a positive attitude.” (Consumer psychiatrist) Recovery to Practice - Psychiatrists
