Convenor

• Dr David Carlyle

Eligibility

Applicants must have experience of or be currently working in the mental health area.

Content

This second semester paper will be offered to appropriately qualified clinicians working in a mental health area and who have an interest in translating principles of recovery into their practice.

The aim of this paper is to focus attention upon self-management as a practical application of recovery principles and practitioners’ ability to facilitate self-management beliefs and abilities in those who receive mental health care.

The paper will provide an opportunity to explore and critique a range of ideas and concepts that influence contemporary mental health care. A working knowledge of the DSM in clinical practice or completion of PSMX 401 will provide a useful foundation to this paper.
