This presentation, entitled “Recovering a Self in Psychosis,” is based on the findings of over 30 years of qualitative studies involving persons with serious mental illnesses who have described the rediscovery and reconstruction of a sense of the self as an effective social agent in the world as integral to their recovery from psychosis. This program of research has its foundation in the consistent finding of over a century of clinical observation, dating back to Kraepelin and Bleuler, that psychosis is marked by a pronounced loss of a sense of self as an agent.
