Abstract

In this article, we portray women's experiences of long-term recovery from anorexia and compulsive overeating. Semistructured interviewing and an interpretive biographical method were used to coconstruct accounts of each participant's transition to wellness. Thick descriptions of self-identified turning points on the path to recovery are framed in terms of the concept of personal positioning in relation to cultural master narratives. The narratives suggest that long-term recovery involves spiritual or political commitment and purposeful engagement with communities larger than the self.

  • Lived experience recovery definitions centre a continuing process of personal transformation, reclamation of power, reconnection with the self and changing navigation of socio-cultural-political domains, in contrast to the medical definition of recovery as an endpoint.

    “In contrast to the medical definition of recovery as an endpoint, lived experience recovery definitions centre a continuing process of personal transformation, reclamation of power, reconnection with the self and changing navigation of socio-cultural-political domains [124–128].”

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.
