The Power of Procovery in Healing Mental Illness
What if, instead of reaching backward to "recover" in the traditional sense, to a prior state of health, individuals with psychiatric diagnoses reached forward to procover, to focus on life instead of illness, to build new dreams and find new purpose? What if those who support and treat these individuals were able to easily create and support this change? In The Power of Procovery in Healing Mental Illness, Kathleen Crowley--author of the powerful first person account of healing, The Day Room, A Memoir of Madness and Mending--shows that a simple shift in focus can initiate a transformative cycle of healing. This book tells you how and why. It is complete with extensive procovery notes for consumers, family and staff. You don't have to start The Power of Procovery at the beginning; just start anywhere. You'll soon discover that procovery is within anyone's grasp. It's a path to healing built upon hope.

In Recovery
For hundreds of years, people diagnosed with mental illness were thought to be hopeless cases, destined to suffer inevitable deterioration. Beginning in the early 1990s, however, providers and policymakers in mental health systems came to promote recovery as their goal. But what does recovery truly mean? For example, to consumers of mental health services, it implies empowerment and greater resources dedicated to healing; to HMOs, it can suggest a means of cost savings when benefits cease upon recovery. This book considers "recovery" from multiple angles. Traditionally, Nora Jacobson notes, recovery was defined as symptom abatement or a return to a normal state of health, but as activists, m...
Free from Civilization
In clear, impassioned prose, Enrico Manicardi analyzes the evils of our age from their genesis. This or that economic, technological or cultural model is not to blame for our current crisis; the blame lies with economics, technology and culture as such. It is the ideology of fear that makes us afraid. It is the mentality of domination that jeopardizes all of our relationships. In short, the problem is civilization. Through its oppressive classes, values and processes that pervade everyone's life, civilization domesticates us, weakens our perceptiveness and distances us from the living world. We must radically change our way of thinking, feeling and behaving before it's too late-we must dam t...
