PEER SUPPORT in 430 B.C.

I read in Plato's Republic where Socrates argued that a healthy, robust or healthy physician lacked the true nature of compassion, and in his arguement he hypothetically suggests the idea that good health care is a physician being maimed to place him in the position equal to a person with ailments. I need to re-read the Republic in order to give a proper citation.--Recovery Psychology 00:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Authentic "recovery"

Perhaps I am misinterpreting the definition of recovery presented here. However, it seems if someone is "disabled" due to mental illness, and cannot work due to the what is being labeled as "disability", then if they are able to "recover", then almost by definition they should be able to hold a job.

Again, perhaps I am misinterpreting what it means to "recover". It could certainly be used in other different contexts. Or it could simply be used as a matter of speaking of different degrees of "recovery".

That's a very good question, recently I heard at a seminar for mental health workers where Strengths+Skills=Success in speaking of vocational rehabilitation for persons with mental illness and this was headed under the "recovery model" and the lecturers used logic such as "recovery is a process" and "recovery is not a destination" in the same seminar. So that is to say that Success is an antonym to the word Destination. I have been seeking information on this "process of recovery" and the closest I have found to it; is that recovery is not a process that mental illness is actually the process The Kubler-Ross process and recovery is a form of destination.--recovery psychologist 00:35, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
