Adm Policy Ment Health (2018) 45:91–102 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10488-016-0767-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Explication and Definition of Mental Health Recovery: A Systematic Review Marsha Langer Ellison1,4 · Lindsay K. Belanger2 · Barbara L. Niles3 · Leigh C. Evans2,5 · Mark S. Bauer2,6 Published online: 5 October 2016 © Springer Science+Business Media New York (outside the USA) 2016 Abstract This review assessed the concordance of the literature on recovery with the definition and components of recovery developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Each SAMHSA identified recovery component was first explicated with synonyms and keywords and made mutually exclusive by authors. Inter-rater reliability was established on the coding of the presence of 17 recovery components and dimensions in 67 literature reviews on the recovery concept in mental health. The review indicated that concordance varied across SAMHSA components. The components of recovery with greatest concordance were: individualized/ person centered, empowerment, purpose, and hope. This research was presented at the 2015 Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association Workforce Summit.

Promoting “recovery” is now the guiding vision for many mental health services, rather than the medical model of treatment or cure (Anthony 1993). National calls for using the recovery paradigm emerged in the landmark President New F reedom Commission on Mental Health (2003) and recovery can now be found in the missions of both international and state mental health authorities as well as for the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (Beale and Lambric 1995; Fallot et al. 2011; Iowa Department of Human Services 2016; Jacobson 2003; Meehan et al. 2008; Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services 2016; Mental Health Commission 2012; New Freedom Commission on Mental Health 2003; Ramon et al. 2007; Veterans Health Administration 2008; Virginia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Services 2014). One of the earlier definitions of recovery was presented in the “National Consensus Statement on Mental Health Recovery” (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2006). This stated that ‘Mental health recovery is a journey of healing and transformation enabling a person with a mental health problem to live a meaningful life in a community of the person’s choice while striving to achieve his or her full potential’ (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2006). Despite its proliferation, however, the term “recovery” is a slippery concept that is inconsistently used (Meehan et al. 2008). “It is an amalgam of cultural beliefs, treatment 13 Content courtesy of Springer Nature, terms of use apply. Rights reserved. 92 Adm Policy Ment Health (2018) 45:91–102 practices, and ideas about mental illness. Like mental illness itself, the notion of recovery represents a multidimensional set of phenomena” (Davidson and Roe 2007, p. 460). There is now a large literature that attempts to delineate the central components of recovery, with many providing overlapping conceptualizations of recovery and none providing a clear consensus. The selection of any one recovery description runs the risk of dismissing key components or conversely over-emphasizing minor ones. To guide future research on recovery, the authors of this paper aimed to assess the concordance of scientific and policy-based definitions and operationalizations of the recovery concept through a systematic literature review. Systematic literature reviews gather, assess, and summarize current information found in the literature about a specific topic. They use a systematic, structured process to do this, which is determined in advance and explicitly stated. Utilization of such a process ensures transparency and lends itself better to replication (Moher et al. 2009). We aim also to assist the mental healthcare systems that are grappling with how to implement recovery-oriented services. One such system is the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), which delivers health care to 9.1 million Veterans (Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics 2015). The VHA is arguably one of the largest systems attempting recovery-oriented services; note the recent mandate to hire large numbers of mental health peer supporters (The White House Office of the Press Secretary 2012) and to transform day treatment centers to recovery centers (Veterans Health Administration 2008). Thus, this review uses as a reference the 2004 definition of recovery explicated by the United States national office for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in their National Consensus Statement, which is also used by the VHA in their recovery programming and research (Veterans Health Administration 2008) and the later SAMHSA consensus on recovery in 2012 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2012). The two SAMHSA statements together identify 17 components of recovery. These include 13 “guiding principles” identified collectively in the two SAMHSA statements and “four major dimensions that support a life in recovery” (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2012). This systematic review measured the frequency by which each of these principles and dimensions were noted in the mental health recovery literature, including both peer-reviewed articles and “gray literature” (e.g. policy statements and other relevant documents published by non-commercial entities (California State University Library 2015)). To do so we had the following objectives: (1) Develop a clear and mutually exclusive understanding of each of the 17 SAMHSA fundamental recovery components to use for coding selected articles; (2) achieve a high inter-rater reliability score for coding literature on recovery using the 17 components, (3) identify all relevant juried and “gray” literature using systematic transparent procedures; and (4) establish concordance by coding all selected articles for the presence of any one of the fundamental components. Method Literature Search Strategy and Eligibility Criteria This systematic review of recovery sought to identify only review papers (narrative and systematic) from peerreviewed journals and additional sources, in order to maximize the yield of articles that addressed multiple dimensions of recovery together. We utilized the following inclusion criteria: (1) contains an original model, framework, or conceptualization of recovery and the components of recovery from serious mental illness that could be summarized and extracted; (2) identified as a published review or an official policy statement of a state, province, or country; (3) available in English. The exclusion criteria were: (a) studies solely focusing on only one component of recovery but not the recovery concept as a whole; (b) articles defining recovery from substance abuse only. In order to promote a common understanding among three major constituent groups interested in recovery models for mental illness (i.e. individuals, providers, and systems), the current review included articles that identified components relevant to any one or more of these three groups. Three methods of article identification were used: electronic database searching, web-based searching, and hand searching as a cross-check. Electronic literature searches were conducted using six online databases: PubMed; EBSCO (databases of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, and SocINDEX); PROQUEST (databases of PsychiatryOnline and Nursing & Allied Health Source); EMBase; Cochrane Library; and CINAHL. All databases were searched from 1985 to 2014. The following terms were identified from the title, abstract, keywords, or mesh headings: (serious mental illness OR mental health OR mental illness OR mental disorder OR mental disease OR mental problem OR depression OR bipolar OR anxiety OR schizophrenia OR ptsd OR schizoaffective disorder). These mental health phrases were combined with the term “recovery” restricted to title or abstract. Search phrases were then systematically narrowed to review papers only using specific filters developed for each database, such as “systematic review” OR “evidence review” OR “critical appraisal” OR “framework” or “conceptual model” OR TI (evidence) OR TI (effective*). Electronic alerts of these search phrases were used to capture any newly published articles, resulting in the inclusion of one additional article. 13 Content courtesy of Springer Nature, terms of use apply. Rights reserved. 93 Adm Policy Ment Health (2018) 45:91–102 Several web-based resources were reviewed for inclusion including, Boston University’s repository on recovery (http://cpr.bu.edu/resources/recovery-repository), state health department policy papers, and international health policy papers. This search resulted in the identification of 64 additional sources that were screened. Finally, these electronic searches were cross-checked against several selected seminal articles (Anthony 1993; Jacobson and Greenley 2001; Le Boutillier et al. 2011; Leamy et al. 2011; Onken et al. 2007; Whitley and Drake 2010) originally identified by the authors and experts advisors in the field. The two SAMHSA statements (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2006, 2012) were used to identify and define the components under examination in this review and were not included in the identified articles. Data Extraction and Risk of Bias Assessment One rater extracted data and assessed the eligibility criteria for all retrieved papers. Group consensus from all three raters was used to determine eligibility when there were questions about eligibility. Identification and Coding of Components In SAMHSA’s 2006 National Consensus Statement on Mental Health Recovery (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2006) 10 “guiding principles” were identified and this definition of recovery was also adopted by the Veterans Health Administration in the mental health handbook (Veterans Health Administration Fig. 1 Changes to SAMHSA Core Recovery Components from 2004 to 2012 2008). In 2012, an updated working definition of recovery was distributed by SAMSHA. Unlike the ealier version, the updated version is meant to provide a standard working definition of recovery that applies to both mental disorders and to substance use disorders. This definition is comprised of 10 guiding principles that clarify the recovery concept for service systems and consumers of services (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2012). The 10 guiding principles used in SAMHSA’s 2012 working definition are somewhat different than those identified in 2004, however, and F ig. 1 depicts the similarities and differences between the two SAMSHA definitions. Four guiding principles (hope, respect, peer support, and holistic) remained the same in the two definitions. Four guiding principles from the 2004 definition were combined into two guiding principles in the 2012 definition: (1) self-direction and individualized and person-centered were combined into person-driven, and (2) strengths-based and responsibility were combined into strengths/responsibility. The non-linear guiding principle in 2004 was slightly revised to become many pathways in the 2012 definition. Empowerment was dropped from the definition in 2012 and three new guiding principles (culture, addresses trauma, and relational) were added. In addition, in the 2012 publication, four “dimensions” of recovery were added to the ten guiding principles: home, health, community, and purpose. The newly added dimensions are explained by SAMHSA as those “that support a life in recovery”. For the current review, both the 2004 and 2012 SAMSHA consensus working definitions of recovery were utilized and 17 components were identified: 10 guiding principles SAMHSA Recovery Components in 2012 SAMHSA Recovery Components in 2004 Respect Peer Support Hope Self-Direction Individualized & PersonCentered Holistic Non-Linear Empowerment Hope Respect StrenghtsBased Responsibility Unaltered components Re-named component Person Driven Peer Support Strengths/ Responsibility Holistic Many Pathways Culture Relational Addresses Trauma New components (2012) Combined components Dropped component (2004) 13 Content courtesy of Springer Nature, terms of use apply.

For this review, the authors developed a list of key words for each of the 17 components; see Table 1. In both the 2004 and 2012 SAMSHA publications, a short definition of each guiding principle and dimension was provided. Key words were extracted from these short SAMHSA definitions and served as the basis for the definitions utilized in the current project. In addition, other highly cited publications that sought to define or explicate recovery were used to provide additional detail to each component. Finally, each component was reviewed to determine if there was overlap with other components. If more than one component addressed a concept, key words were added or removed in order to make the components clearly defined and mutually exclusive. Using the component hope as an example, the 2012 SAMSHA publication provides the following definition: “The belief that recovery is real provides the essential and motivating message of a better future—that people can and do overcome the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles that confront them. Hope is internalized and can be fostered by peers, families, providers, allies, and others. Hope is the catalyst of the recovery process.” The key words generated from this definition were: “motivating message of a better future” and “belief that recovery is real.” The additional key words generated via other publications were: “belief in possibilities,” “optimism,” “inspiration,” “dreams and aspirations,” and “counterpoint to depression.” An iterative process was used to establish interrater reliability for these enhanced definitions of the components/ dimensions and to provide additional clarity to the definitions. The three raters each reviewed the same three articles to generate ratings or “counts” for the presence or absence of each of the 17 components/dimensions in each article. When there was disagreement among the raters, the ratings were discussed until consensus was reached regarding how a concept should be coded. Additional details were added to definitions in order to broaden a definition or to differentiate one component/dimension from others. The three raters then provided counts for another three articles and again discussed discrepancies and added detail to the definitions. F inally, two of the raters provided counts for two articles and an agreement level of 91.2 % was reached; no further modifications were made to the rating scheme. Results From the 1657 publications identified in the literature search, a total of 67 review articles and policy papers met inclusion criteria for this systematic review. (see Table 2 for listing and F ig. 2 for PRISMA diagram of search results (Moher et al. 2009). Included articles are noted with an asterisk in the reference list). Almost half (33/67 or 49 %) of the articles were written by U.S. authors and reported on recovery and delivery of mental health services from an American perspective. A growing body of international literature on recovery was apparent, as the other 34 articles (51 %) were 13 Content courtesy of Springer Nature, terms of use apply. Rights reserved. 97 Adm Policy Ment Health (2018) 45:91–102 from other countries (United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, Sweden, Taiwan, and China). The majority of the articles (38 or 57 %) were non-systematic literature reviews, 14 (21 %) were qualitative syntheses of the literature, nine (13 %) were policy papers, and six (9 %) were systematic literature reviews. The counts for absence or presence of discussion of each of the 17 components over the 67 articles are summarized in F ig. 3. Individualized/person centered, empowerment, purpose, and hope were the components most frequently identified and were addressed in 80 % or more of the articles reviewed. It is notable that empowerment was mentioned in a high proportion of the articles (57/67 or 85 %) although it was removed from the 2012 SAMHSA definition. One of the new components, relational, was mentioned in the majority of the articles (50/67 or 75 %), whereas the other two new components, culture and addresses trauma, were mentioned in fewer than 25 % of the articles. The four dimensions of recovery that support a life in recovery that were added to the 2012 SAMHSA definition were varied in the frequency of citations. Purpose was highly cited (third most frequently cited, in 56/67 or 81 %).

By contrast home was less frequently cited and identified in only 36 % (24/67) of the articles. Discussion Although the literature on recovery contains varying, ambiguous and overlapping definitions of recovery and its critical dimensions, the results suggest that there is a consensus among leaders on at least four critical aspects of recovery that ranged in mentions from 81 to 85 % of the 67 articles examined. These four are that recovery should be individualized/person centered, and that recovery is centrally connected to the constructs of empowerment, purpose, and hope. As systems and programs such as the VHA struggle to define recovery and to design services that are recovery-oriented, the application of these four aspects would align the program with consensus on how recovery is understood in the international field. n = 67 We also note that there is a broad consensus on the components and dimensions of recovery. This constellation of components could provide a basis for future attempts to measure recovery and recovery oriented practices and outcomes. There are however two outliers to this consensus. Those are culture and addresses trauma which were newly added to the 2012 SAMHSA consensus statement. The omission in the recovery literature of addresses trauma may have to do with the relatively recent appreciation of the importance of trauma informed mental health care. It is also possible that authors in the field may have intentionally omitted addresses trauma from their definitions because it applies to only a subset of the population; many individuals with mental health challenges who strive for recovery have not experienced a traumatic event. The omission of culture is more puzzling and may reflect an essentially Euro-American ethnocentrism to the recovery literature. We also note that the second most highly ranked component was “empowerment”. Empowerment was identified in the SAMHSA consensus 13 Content courtesy of Springer Nature, terms of use apply.

The frequent reference to empowerment as a recovery construct may be mainly a reflection on how long empowerment has been in the recovery lexicon. Alternatively, the incorporation of substance use disorders in the recovery construct may have influenced the inclusion and exclusion of some principles identified earlier. This review of the literature also noted mentions of recovery components that were missing from the SAMHSA definitions. One example is quality of life (Anthony 2003; Gordon et al. 2014; Leamy et al. 2011). While the definition of purpose in this review encompasses the notion of finding meaning in life, quality of life was determined to be a different construct in the literature and was not included as keyword. Also missing was an environmental or ecological perspective (Onken et al. 2007), which incorporates both individual components (such as hope) and the environment (such as opportunities) and focuses on the relationships between the two. Finally we noted that several articles have made a strong argument for incorporating the role of work or employment and skills building into a recovery framework for service delivery. While the definition of purpose contained fulfilling/meaningful life roles such job, school or volunteerism, the building of skills to achieve these life roles is absent. Further explication of recovery should attend to the components of skill building, quality of life, and ecology. The authors can only speculate on what the drivers are for changes in recovery definitions over time. Does the evolution of the conceptualization of recovery reflect a growing crystallization of the concept born out of practice and experience, or changing values of the cultural milieu, or shifts in political winds? This can be a topic for future research. This study is limited by its exploration of recovery that is based on the SAMHSA defined components of recovery. Although SAMHSA engaged in an intensive effort to define recovery including public comment and iterative expert feedback, their definition is only one of several other frameworks for recovery that could have been used. Additionally, the latter SAMHSA framework is designed to embrace recovery both from the mental health and from addiction. However, as we were specifically interested in understanding mental health recovery the literature on addiction recovery was not included. The definitions of the components of recovery provided in the current review are built upon the authors’ interpretations of the definitions. Although these definitions were informed by the literature and represent a best effort to provide clear and mutually exclusive characterizations that capture the essence of each concept, the lines that distinguish one concept from another can be blurry. However, we were able to establish good inter-rater reliability, which is a key building block for establishing the validity of a construct. We anticipate that as the recovery literature and instruments to measure these concepts continue to evolve and develop, these definitions will also continue to evolve. Nevertheless, this study contributes to the ongoing effort to make recovery 13 Content courtesy of Springer Nature, terms of use apply. Rights reserved. Adm Policy Ment Health (2018) 45:91–102 100 conceptually clear as it provides definitions, synonyms and keywords that help distinguish one recovery component from another. The definitions too can provide a basis for both operationalizing and measuring these concepts. Combining the definitions and the rankings, the recovery field can move forward with confidence about the relative importance of these recovery components and what they mean. In conclusion, this systematic review provides recovery researchers with clear and distinct definitions of the SAMHSA recovery principles and dimensions that can be used as a rubric for later examination of the recovery concept. The definitions can also form the basis of measurement and fidelity assessment across systems. The analysis also arms recovery system designers with knowledge of what are the key recovery competencies. This knowledge can provide assurance that service designs accord with the broader recovery literature. Acknowledgments Elaine Alligood provided much appreciated library support services.
