Sammanfattning
During the last decades there has been considerable emphasis on systemizing and acknowledging service users’ experiences, as well as developing a comprehensive and wide knowledgebase for mental health service development. National strategies, financial incitements and processes of service transformation should all in all represent good frameworks for making recovery oriented practice real. The intentions have been the best, however, looking at the present discussions and practises one might well question the genuine interest of the authorities as well as central parts of the services. Is recovery primarily seen as theoretically interesting or politically correct? In this paper we will outline some radical changes needed in order to fulfil the intentions of valuing service users’ voices and preferences in recovery. We will discuss issues like power and knowledge, the potentials of recovery research and practice in promoting solid change and finally the prospective of bringing together various research, practice and experience based communities for working in partnership towards a recovery oriented mental health service transformation.
