Recovery Model Will Strengthen Psychiatrist-Patient Relationship

..  the cornerstone definition of mental health recovery was developed by
William Anthony, Ph.D., director of the Boston Center for Psychiatric
Rehabilitation.

...  individuals who have made groundbreaking contributions to the recovery
movement, such as Fred Freese, Ph.D., a leader of the Alliance for the
Mentally Ill; Tony Lehman, M.D., professor and chair of the Department
of Psychiatry at the University of Maryland; and H. Westley Clark,
M.D., J.D., director of the federal Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment.

... factors are common in the recovery paradigm ... medication and other
psychiatric treatments

Psychiatrists create hope as we treat patients.

Most people with severe mental illness say that medications are
critical to their success and provide hope.
