Recovery from first-episode psychosis and recovering self: A qualitative study.
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore the subjective factors associated with the experience of first-episode psychosis (FEP) and the very first stages of recovery to develop our understanding of this process and improve treatment outcomes. METHOD: Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was used to explore the experiences of 20 young people who had recently experienced FEP. RESULTS: Two broad superordinate themes captured essential thematic trends in the data: experiences of self-estrangement and self-consolidation. The concept of dialogical self was used to understand the effect of psychosis on self and the process of resuming familiar social positions to facilitate recovery. The concept of making meaning after traumatic events was also applied to the narratives of personal growth that participants formed. Those who reported subjective improvements in recovery were more likely to have developed a meaningful interpretation of their psychosis, strengthened relationships with others, and forged a stronger sense of self. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The experience of self-consolidation was strongly associated with the person's resumption of familiar social roles and their ability to make meaning from their experience in a way that promoted personal growth. Although these processes are known to be part of personal recovery, this study highlights their importance in the very early stages of recovery immediately after the experience of FEP.

Studies of first-person experience of psychosis demonstrate that insight is most significant when it helps persons make sense or meaning of life events in a narratized manner.
“This view is consistent with studies of firstperson experience of psychosis, which demonstrate that insight is most significant to persons with psychosis when it helps them make sense or meaning of life events in a narratized manner [191][192][193][194] .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
