With regards to the textbook, we appreciate your interest, however the text is still a work in progress. That having been said, and many disclaimers and warnings abounding...all purchases on the text from LuLu are at the buyers risk. I am sorry that none of the materials are to my satisfaction to be available; my goal is to promote the concept of recovery and not harm it. An incomplete unedited sloppy work would not benefit anyone, save for those who understand the philosophical impetus that such a textbook, when completed could have a significant impact on education, services provided and society. If you feel in anyway after being advised; that such an incomplete work (an example of activism so far) is beneficial to you the link below is where the textbook can be purchased. 05.18.08An academic textbook on Recovery Psychology would meet the following criteria:
1. must comprehensively discuss the concept of the recovery model, with the focus on symptomatic, functional and role recovery
2. must discuss the cognitive, behavioral and sociological aspects of wellness, disorder, illness and recovery, as well as the definition of abnormal or disorder in comparison to the abnormal, deviant and dangerous behaviors which are regarded as “normal” such as the Center for Disease Control report on persons receiving speeding tickets, asking questions like “Should you be diagnosed as mentally ill if you get a speeding ticket?” Answers like: danger to self, danger to others, reckless behavior, violation of social conventions, poor judgment, poor insight, rationalization, anti-social aspects, narcissism, inability to following instructions, disturbances in functioning etc…Are the so-called “normal” people who get speeding tickets more dangerous than persons with psychological disorders
3.must address anti-psychiatry viewpoints equally to pro-psychiatry viewpoints equally on psychological disorder and recovery
4.must address the history of the recovery movement equal to the history of clinicality (modern institutionalization) and institutionalization
5.must address psychiatric rehabilitation and the core principles of; as compliment to mental health medical model treatment
6.must address neurodiversity in the context of developmental disabilities
7.does not discuss Freud (The Jung no longer believe in the Freud and the recovery movement can throw them both away) or other illegitimate theories and treatment which do not help in recovery
8.is focused on recovery not remission, and defines the difference between the two outcomes, must uphold a position that clinical remission is not helpful to persons with psychological disorders nor is pharmaceutical side effects an appropriate outcome; with medication side effects being abnormal contrasted to the alleged abnormality
9.does not stigmatize the cliental of mental health services, it uses person-first language, treats people like people who have rights, acknowledging person-centered and humanistic perspective; regards advocating for self as a normalizing behavior and discusses the history of compliance as a clinical institutionalized abnormal behavior, will discuss the abnormality of discrimination, prejudice and stigma against disadvantaged persons and the psychological harm of such
10.speaks of recovery as in the genuine intention of treatment, discusses the failures of mental health system focusing on remission, compliance, and medication side effects
11.discusses the many different ideas on what recovery is from the perspective of those in recovery
12.must discuss recovery as a phenomena, experience or process equal to the phenomena, experience or process of psychological disorder…other issues to be discussed would be coping and adaptation
