Recovery, Meaning-Making, and Severe Mental Illness (eBook, ePUB)

A Comprehensive Guide to Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy

Beschreibung

Recovery, Meaning-Making, and Severe Mental Illness offers practitioners an integrative treatment model that will stimulate and harness their creativity, allowing for the formation of new ideas about wellness in the face of profound suffering. The model, Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERIT), complements current treatment modalities and can be used by practitioners from a broad range of theoretical backgrounds. By using metacognitive capacity as a guide to intervention, MERIT stretches and strengthens practitioners' capacity for reflection and allows them to better use their unique knowledge to help people who are confronting the suffering and chaos that often comes from psychosis. Clinicians will come away from this book with a variety of tools for helping clients manage their own recovery and confront the issues that accompany an illness-based identity.

Rezensionen

"This is a fascinating, innovative, and very instructive book about how practitioners can assist people with severe mental illness on their road toward self-directed recovery. The individualized approach on meaning-making and the patient's unique experience fills a void in current treatment literature based on symptom-focused interventions. The authors convey a convincing theoretical and clinical rationale for the MERIT treatment model along with an inspiring variety of tools."
Anne-Kari Torgalsbøen, PhD, professor, Department of Psychology, University of Oslo, Norway

"People with severe mental illnesses have long been marginalized by society with little hope of getting access to treatment that may help them not only to cope with their signs and symptoms, but also to lead meaningful and satisfactory lives. Recovery, Meaning-Making, and Severe Mental Illness is an in-depth guide for practitioners who seek to empower patients in their endeavor to achieve recovery. Written in a compassionate style, the book encompasses outstanding expertise and skillful therapeutic guidance - clinicians will love it."
