The Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine presented a themed issue about various aspects of recovery in March 2026. The title is:
Themed Issue on Implementing the Recovery Approach in Mental Health: Progress Made, Challenges Faced and Future Directions.
The Themed Issue focuses on the evolution, implementation, and critique of the recovery approach in mental health. The various authors that contribute with papers outline how the recovery approach has grown into a global movement grounded in human rights, agency, and systemic transformation. In this Themed Issue, you can find the following titles: Implementing the recovery approach in mental health: progress made, challenges faced, and future directions; Recovery revisited: a critical reflection on the suitability of recovery frameworks for child and youth mental health services; Principles, policies, and practices: reflections on recovery in the real world; Reassessing ‘recovery’ in the light of Mad Studies: a survivor perspective; Co-creation and recovery in mental health services: a lived experience perspective; Reflections by a consultant psychiatrist on the experience of implementing a recovery-focused mental health service;A qualitative study exploring mental health professionals’ perspectives, opinions, and attitudes on the state of service users’ rights; A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies on citizenship and mental health; The role of peer support work in recovery-oriented services: a rapid scoping revie and Individual recovery or collective recovery? Do we really consider both in current Irish mental health policy and provision? These are just some of the titles. There are more.
