Abstract: |
This article presents a cynical commentary upon current notions of recovery, well-being and positive psychology. These are, at times, being cynically used to address profoundly damaging processes of social traumatisation that give rise to certain forms of mental health problems, and related psycho-social disease which is being linked to low productivity, under- or unemployment and low social status, described as worklessness and worth-lessness. The article states that much good work is done by statutory, non-statutory and service user led groups and organisations to engage with these problems. However, in this commentary the authors suggest how the language and currency of these initiatives are in danger of being hi-jacked and side-tracked by the vested interests of explicit and tacit political and professional agendas of the in group at the expense of those whom the groups seek to help. |
