“…Recovery has been defined as process involving many aspects of self-experience related variables, such as sense of identity (Leonhardt et al, 2017). Nowadays, the concept of mental illness recovery is not characterized as the absence of disease symptoms and the complete functioning of individuals, but it is characterized as the fact that patients find their lives meaningful and worth living, are aware of their ability and abilities, given the disease's limitations, and make attempts to assess them and assign hope to life (Çam & Yalçıner, 2018). The concept of subjective recovery in patients with schizophrenia can be defined as having a personally meaningful and satisfying life, being able to take one's own life goals and care decisions, to have hope for the future, being at peacewith oneself, having a valued sense of integrity, well-being and self-respect (Liberman, 2012).…”
