Beyond stigma and discrimination: challenges for social work practice in psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery.
The recovery process and social work education share theoretical and practice roots that facilitate a goodness-of-fit between the profession and the empowerment orientation of recovery. This article examines the linkages between the recovery process and social work education, including areas where curricular renewal will assure that master's in social work (MSW) students and graduates embrace the recovery-oriented values that facilitate consumer-driven services. Curricular innovation is also proposed that addresses the need for MSW programs to develop supported education programs that will enable more consumers to pursue and complete graduate social work education.
