15 General introduction • Which individual and environmental factors influence personal recovery in patients with non-affective psychosis, their unaffected siblings and healthy controls? Chapter 6 investigates the predictors of personal recovery in a large sample of not only patients, but also siblings and healthy controls. This approach is in line with the idea - as explained above - that recovery is a universal experience, rather than limited to persons with a diagnosed mental disorder. • What is the experience of the collaboration of persons with severe mental illness, family and mental health professionals during recovery? Chapter 7 explores different perspectives on the collaboration towards recovery in the triad of patient, family and professional. In chapter 8 the findings will be discussed and implications for clinical practice and directions for future research will be presented. Chapter 9 provides a summary of the thesis. 1
