This paper describes the "Re-covery Model", an innovative approach to facilitating recovery in people with enduring symptoms of psychosis and other extreme states. This model has been developed by experience-based experts (EBEs), and mental health professionals, some of whom are also EBEs. It provides a shared understanding of the "human condition" in the bio-socio-psycho-cultural and spiritual developmental context in which resilience and vulnerabilities shape the person. It is easily understood and helps service clients, clinicians, and significant others to come to a shared identification of the patterns that create vicious cycles of stigma and deteriorating function. It offers a hope-inducing pathway towards victorious cycles of building resilience and manifesting a life worth living, and integrates intervention strategies from a variety of evidence based therapies to facilitate recovery. The approach and its implementation are discussed in detail.
