Clinical Recovery Full symptom remission, full or part time work / education, independent living without supervision by informal carers, having friends with whom activities can be shared – sustained for a period of 2 years Liberman RP, Kopelowicz A (2002) Recovery from schizophrenia, International Review of Psychiatry, 14, 245-255.

Personal recovery A deeply personal, unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills and roles. It is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful and contributing life even with limitations caused by the illness. Anthony WA (1993) Recovery from mental illness: the guiding vision of the mental health service system in the 1990s, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Journal, 16, 11-23.
