147 Perspective matters in recovery Conclusions This study emphasizes the importance of knowing and valuing diverging perspectives when working in a triad during recovery of severe mental illness, especially psychosis. It proposes processes of collaboration for recovery, including relational and problem oriented role attribution, which influence interaction within the triad. Our study foregrounds the importance of relationally centered and process oriented practice to support the recovery process when perspectives diverge.
