Recovery, place and community mental health services
Abstract
BACKGROUND: While some studies have examined recovery in relation to specific contexts (e.g. housing and work), few have looked in detail at the social and environmental conditions in which recovery occurs. AIMS: To explore the relationship between the recovery of people receiving community mental health services and the places in which they live; to generate knowledge concerning aspects of locality which impact on recovery. METHOD: Grounded theory methodology was employed as a framework for collecting and analysing qualitative data. The study incorporated aspects of Photovoice ( Lopez et al., 2005 ) and ethnography. RESULTS: Four overlapping theoretical accounts are presented. These are: housing, space and agency; representations of social identity; natural environments; and replacement communities. CONCLUSIONS: Recovery can be understood as a variety of interacting ecological processes occurring in the context of the social, economic and physical environment. This offers new ways of thinking about recovery-orientated services.

Yates et al. (100) addressed this gap in recovery literature by studying in detail the social and environmental conditions in which recovery takes place, concluding recovery should be understood as an interaction of ecological processes such as the co-occurrence of personal growth and self-determination in contexts of social structures that restrict personal agency.

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.
