Drawing from the module’s readings, write an essay of 400–500 words that addresses the interconnected issues of psychiatric rehabilitation, the recovery philosophy, and deinstitutionalization. In your essay, be sure to:
1. Discuss the key principles of psychiatric rehabilitation. (I am looking for a synthesis, not a list of principles)
2. Discuss the key principles of the recovery philosophy. (I am looking for a synthesis, not a list of principles)
3. Summarize Torrey’s critique of deinstitutionalization.
4. Discuss the tension between a) following a treatment philosophy based on psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery principles; and b) Torrey’s argument about how to “fix” deinstitutionalization. In other words, how are these perspectives in contradiction to one another?
