This document describes a wellness model for recovery from mental disorders that focuses on client strengths rather than deficits. It outlines alternative perspectives on disorders, including viewing them as correctable issues impacting functioning rather than permanent illnesses. The wellness model emphasizes optimal functioning, communication between clinicians and patients, and individualized recovery programs over a one-size-fits-all approach. The goal is supporting recovery and remission by improving self-beliefs, disempowering shame and stigma, and generating social accommodation for those experiencing disorders.

14. The Ineffectiveness of the
One-Size-Fits-All Approach
● Personal recovery is an individual process.
● Cannot address the nuanced and unique
dynamics of the individual personality.
● There is no one right way to do or
experience recovery.
● The multiplicities of the personality
demands multiple approaches.
● Analysis and recovery are linked but
separate processes.
15. Personality
● The aggregate of every stimulus
experienced by you in your lifetime.
● Fixed by core beliefs; fluid by
intermediate beliefs.
● Unique, one-of-a-kind, inimitable.
● Developed by myriad genetic, social,
cultural, and environmental influences.
● Your current being and your expression
of that being.
