154 Chapter 7 B. Topics within the recovery narrative We examine the topic of triadic recovery within the context of the recovery narrative. It is important to recognize possible subjects related to the topic. Depending on the story that emerges through part A you can determine which subjects within the topics will be explored through questioning. Possible subjects are listed below. These are by no means exhaustive lists. They are meant to stimulate the sensitivity of the interviewer for the topics within the recovery story. When questioning about the topics below, it is important to realize that the term “triad” is considered jargon. So (preferably) do not use this term in the interviews. Triadic recovery - Wishes/needs that the others in the triad can fulfill - (Recovery) needs of the others in the triad - What you could do for the other in the triad - Needs that the triad as a whole has - Influence of the organization of care on cooperation in the triad and therefore on recovery - Influence of culture (broad concept; from culture within the mental health institution to ethnic background) - Who has got a role in recovery (own role and of others in the triad) - and what is this role? - Influence of stigma in triad Tools for talking about recovery The tools below may be used as needed to start and keep the conversation about recovery going. Imagery in case people don’t get going Use the picture of sailboat on water with mainland with harbor in background Tools for maintaining contact - In the absence of loved ones in the triad: approach the background of this with a detour - If it does not come up naturally, be sure to ask about clients’ successes/strengths within the conversation; - Mark difficult elements at the end of the conversation; but certainly also the successes / strengths of clients (check that it has not been forgotten!) Give attention to both in the verbal summary.
