Efficacy of the Recovery Workbook as a Psychoeducational Tool for Facilitating Recovery

The Recovery Workbook uses an educational process to increase awareness of recovery, increase knowledge and control of the illness, increase awareness of the importance and nature of stress, enhance personal meaning, build personal support, and develop goals and plans of action. The intervention period of 30 weekly sessions recommended by Spaniol and colleagues was shortened to 12 weekly sessions to accommodate for clinical and participant commitment. No workbook content was excluded, and all practice exercises were covered.
