1RECOVERY MODEL
Recovery model is defined as the holistic and person-centred method in mental health
care. It is considered as the standard model in psychological health care because of the
momentum it gained in last decade. The model is constructed on two basic premises where

mental patient to take control of their individual lives and develop effective meaning. There
are various principles involved in this recovery model that includes evaluating recovery of
the patient, determining the uniqueness of patient, identifying the real choices with effective

communicating and treating the patient with psychological health issue (Health.gov.au,
2019).

developing support to the patient under the supported decision-making model that will help
the patient to participate in their decision of treatment and understand the overall process of
their recovery. Hence, this supported decision making will enable the patient to involve in
their treatment method and gain sufficient knowledge of their individual recovery path. In
case of recovery model, less restrictive intervention will allow the nurses and healthcare
professional to support the patient in their recovery path without any lag or restriction that
will help them in their recovery while maintaining their rights, freedom and dignity

diagnosed from the condition of mental illness have joined hands and are involved in working
together in order to create change within the society and help the current patient to recover
from mental health illness by guiding them, assisting them and motivating them from their
