At
the first critical perspectives conference, in 2009, recovery principles and
practices were debated and discussed with a considerable optimism about their
potential to radically change mental health care. Now, with the conference in
its 10th year, it is time to take another critical look at recovery and in
particular the adoption of so-called strategies of inclusion (e.g.
co-production, community engagement, and the employment of peer support
workers) by mainstream institutions. The conference will consider whether such
strategies have led to a recovery-focused mental health care where service
users have choices, control and authority, or whether these strategies
constitute an act of appropriation and co-option servicing primarily the interests
of the mental health establishment.
