Uses and abuses of recovery
An understanding of recovery as a personal and subjective experience has emerged within mental health systems. This meaning of recovery now underpins mental health policy in many countries. Developing a focus on this type of recovery will involve transformation within mental health systems. Human systems do not easily transform. In this paper, we identify seven mis-uses ("abuses") of the concept of recovery: recovery is the latest model; recovery…

Five investigations are reported which used personal construct theory and repertory grid techniques to investigate three hypotheses: (1) that boredom is associated with subjective monotony, (2) that boredom is associated with a high degree of frustration and (3) that boredom arises when stimul…
Towards a model of boredom
On the basis of the authors' own research it is suggested boredom may be viewed as having cognitive and affective components.
