“…Mental health recovery is a critical and user-oriented paradigm that has arisen from first-person accounts from people with mental health difficulties, contributing rich “insider” perspectives on what it is like to live with a severe mental illness, and what helps and hinders processes of recovery (Davidson et al, 2005; Deegan, 1996; Read & Reynolds, 1996). This knowledge has led to radical changes in the understanding of mental health and illness and in the content of mental health services being proposed, and is increasingly permeating international mental health policy (Slade, Adams, & O'Hagan, 2012). A much cited definition describes recovery as:

a deeply personal, unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills and/or roles.

Previous research studies regarding music therapy and severe mental illness have mainly adopted quantitative methodologies in order to study the effectiveness of music therapy interventions. Studies that have explored service users’ experiences of participation in music therapy are small in number, and almost nonexistent in the field of psychosis. This study aimed to explore how mental health patients with a diagnosis of psychosis experienced participation in music therapy, in general, and more specifically how they experienced music therapy in relation to their current mental state and life situation. Nine inpatients with psychosis were interviewed using a semi-structured interview focusing on the participants’ experiences of music therapy in individual sessions, groups, and performances. Through the use of interpretative phenomenological analysis, four super-ordinate themes central to the participants’ experiences were found: freedom, contact, well-being, and symptom reduction. Based on the findings, mental health recovery, positive mental health, and agency are proposed as constituting a better framework for music therapy in mental healthcare than a primary focus on symptom remission and functional improvement.

“…Though recovery constitutes an individual process, it can only unfold within social and interpersonal context (5). From the perspective of professionals in mental health care, there is still a considerable lack of clarity about what constitutes recoveryoriented services (6). A recent review of qualitative studies proposed an overarching framework to transform mental health services towards recovery-orientation (7).…”

Background : Evaluations of the recovery orientation of mental health services have focused on outpatient and rehabilitative rather than acute inpatient facilities. Aim : This naturalistic observational study seeks to evaluate the subjective perspective and functional outcome of inpatients before and after structural alterations. The changes made were the introduction of treatment conferences and conjoint treatment planning, reduction of the total time spent on reports about patients (in their absence), and recovery-oriented staff training on an acute psychiatric unit of the University Hospital of Psychiatry, Zurich, Switzerland. Methods : During 1 year (2011/2012) eligible patients on the study unit were interviewed on a voluntary basis using established instruments to assess several recovery-relevant aspects. Two different samples (before and after the project; n 34 and n 29) were compared with regard to subjective parameters (e.g. patients ' attitudes toward recovery, quality of life, perceived coercion, treatment satisfaction, and hope), clinical and socio-demographic basic data, as well as the functional outcome according to the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS). Results: Some patient attitudes towards recovery and their self-assessment of the recovery process improved during the study. Other subjective parameters remained stable between samples. Functional outcome was better in subjects who were treated after the implementation of the new concept. The length of stay remained unchanged. Conclusions: The implementation of recovery-oriented structures and providing the necessary theoretical underpinning on an acute psychiatric unit is feasible and can have an impact on attitudes and knowledge of personal recovery.

“…Most of the literature that reviews recovery movements originates from the US or the UK (Cohen, Abraham, Burk, & Stein, 2012;Myers, 2010;Slade, Adams, & O'Hagan, 2012). Some of the earliest works on recovery were written by pioneers who have firsthand experience of mental illness (Coleman, 1999;Deegan, 1988;O'Hagan, 1996) and these captured the attention of those outside the field, such as academics and policymakers.…”
