At the heart of any therapeutic encounter there is always a story. Patients seeking help bring with them stories, spoken or untold, fragmentary and whole, that collectively make up their own personal narrative, their lived autobiography. Whatever else their tasks, a central part of thedoctor's or therapist's job is to facilitate the telling of these stories, to make meaning out of them and find the patterns within them. The aim of this book is to rehabilitate stories and story telling within medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy and to consider a narrative approach both as atheoretical paradigm and a practical, therapeutic tool.

The recovery approach is now very much in the mental health mainstream. Since the first edition was published in 2006, there has been significant progress in our broader understanding of how people experiencing severe mental health problems can be supported in their personal recovery journeys and rehabilitation psychiatry is firmly now established as a psychiatric sub-specialty. 'Enabling Recovery' is an up-to-date comprehensive overview of contemporary practice within psychiatric rehabilitation services. It offers a practical and operational guide which takes the reader logically and systematically from foundation to clinical practice to service development.
