title: Implementing person-centered care in psychiatric rehabilitation: what does this involve?
abstract: BACKGROUND
  It has been challenging to move beyond the rhetoric of "recovery" and "person-centered care" to concrete practices that embody these lofty, if also obvious, values.
  
  
  METHODS
  This paper describes two examples of person-centered care: the practices of person-centered care planning from the U.S. and Open Dialogue from Finland.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The key strategies that these two practices involve are 1) reorientation from patient to personhood; 2) reorientation of what is considered valued knowledge and expertise, and; 3) partnership and negotiation in decision-making.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This review focused on two examples of person-centered care which appear to be promising. Preliminary findings will need to be replicated and elaborated for such practices to be considered evidence-based.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is possible to embody the values of person-centered care and recovery in everyday clinical and rehabilitative practice. A primary shift involved is in the role of patients and their family, friends, and peers and in the importance accorded their everyday life experiences and challenges.
