With support from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, APA has launched a new Recovery to Practice initiative designed to develop a curriculum for training professional psychologists in recovery approaches to work with individuals with behavioral health disorders, including serious mental illnesses. The initiative is an outgrowth of increasing recognition that recovery is an attainable outcome. Given the emphasis in the health care reform legislation on providing interventions that are outcome oriented and evidence based, and given APA’s strategic initiative to expand psychology’s role in advancing health, the move to approaches that promote recovery is necessary if psychology is to remain a viable health care discipline in the years to come.
