Sammanfattning
Mental health researchers and treatment professionals in Scandinavia recommend a recovery
approach to the treatment of dual diagnosis patients, including participation in 12-step based mutual
help groups. The article presents conceptual dichotomies between the meaning of recovery as
defined by mental health professionals and the definition in 12-step based mutual help groups. With
reference to the ideological differences, a naive inclusion of 12-step ideology in a general
understanding of recovery in the treatment of dual diagnosis patients is questioned.
