Although rehabilitation literature frequently refers to recovery as the ultimate goal of therapeutic interventions, what recovery actually means is not clearly explained. However, the recovery model has been widely discussed in the context of mental health services, and it has been suggested that this model may also be applied to services for people with other long-term health conditions. This article explores this suggestion further by examining the recovery model and its relationship to physical rehabilitation.
