What is it about?
Recovery has been debated in mental health for some time. Attempts to clarify this in the context of people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia have not resulted in a consensus. This article provokes a view of recovery with regard to salutogenesis as the base. This will enable people to re-evaluate their thoughts and practice and contextualise where we are in relation to recovery for people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Why is it important?
All too often the default position is one of negative, pathological reasoning when addressing people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Even though recovery is commonly mentioned this paper offers further belief that recovery can and does occur.
Perspectives
Personally, this paper is intended to move away from measuring symptoms and outcomes and address the real person within. Offering hope and empowerment in a realistic context to assist in recovery for people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia is an important consideration which needs to be highlighted.
