ACT team members' responses to training in recovery-oriented practices
Abstract
To further our understanding of the consequences of training in recovery principles and practices, this study examined ACT team workers' responses to a state-wide recovery training initiative. Analysis of trainees' comments revealed ten themes expressing endorsement of or difficulties with recovery-oriented practices. Trainees' comments supporting a recovery orientation described service recipients in holistic terms and described using various techniques to attain "client-centered" goals. Recovery-oriented tasks that posed dilemmas for trainees were: reconciling system-centered goals with recipients' goals, establishing collaborative relationships with recipients, and using a recovery orientation with recipients who are in crisis and/or who "don't admit to being mentally ill."
