152 Chapter 7 SUPPLEMENT Topic list, service user version Preliminary definitions Recovery: Four forms or aspects of recovery have been distinguished in the literature: clinical (or symptomatic) recovery, functional recovery, social recovery and personal recovery. These four forms of recovery are interrelated and influence each other. This research focuses on social and personal recovery. Personal recovery: personal and unique process of giving meaning to that which happened in the past and regaining control of one’s life/developing new meaning and goals. Leamy et al. (2011) identified a number of processes important in personal recovery: connection, hope, identity, meaning and empowerment (acronym CHIME). In the topic list, the topic recovery refers to this personal process. Other forms of recovery (e.g., social recovery) may be part of this process for an individual. Social recovery: improvement of the individual’s position in terms of housing, work, income and social relationships. Absent from the Topic List, because may-or may not be contained in the client’s personal recovery. Triad: literally: a group consisting of three parties. In our mental health context: the group of (1) service user, (2) family/friends/colleagues or other loved ones, (3) mental health professional(s) involved (various disciplines); specifically the partnership between them.
