New Book of Recovery Stories and Images

Based on requests from the field, Boston University 's Center for
Psychiatric Rehabilitation has published a second book of personal
accounts of the process of recovery as experienced by individuals with
serious mental illnesses. Voices of Recovery consists of two different
types of "voices."  The first "voice" is in the form of articles on
recovery that were published in the Coping With column of the
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal from the years 2000 through 2008. The
second "voice" is a collection of Photovoice works, which includes a
photograph with short narrative explaining the consumer photographer's
point of view.

 

These inspirational contributions remind us that recovery is not only
possible -- recovery is real!  For more information and a preview of
