Research conducted by Fran Palmer, Trainee Clinical Psychologist, University of Surrey; f.palmer@surrey.ac.uk Principal supervisor: Dr. Laura Simonds, Lecturer, University of Surrey; l.simonds@surrey.ac.uk , 01483 686936 Appendix H. Debrief Sheet Debrief Sheet Thank you for taking part in my study. This sheet provides a brief summary of what I am investigating. Recently, mental health services have had a shift in their philosophy. In the past, they used to be focused on 'clinical recovery' which meant returning to the same level of functioning as experienced before the onset of the illness, following treatment from professionals. Mental health services now aim for 'personal recovery' which is a wider concept that includes the idea that someone can enjoy a good quality of life while still experiencing symptoms. I am interested in knowing what people who have never experienced mental health services think about recovery from mental health problems and whether these views are more in keeping with clinical or personal recovery. As there has not been much research into this previously, I am not expecting a particular set of results and this study is more exploratory in nature. If you would like to receive a summary of the results of this study, please email me at f.palmer@surrey.ac.uk to let me know. A summary will be available in September 2015.
