From the Paper:
"The immediate and long-term health of the patient undergoing treatment and recovery are impacted by the emotional state of the patient, the patient's access to support and an ability to retrieve the information, counsel and representation which are necessary during convalescence. This is verified in the motives of the fictitiously named Mr. Smith, who was recently discharged after a period of institutionalization and who expressed a desire to participate in the interview process. Given the numerous areas in which mental healthcare must be subjected to change and refinement to meet a diversity of demands, the goals of this interview process will be to provide anecdotal documentation of individual case experiences and, simultaneously, to provide qualitative data contributing to the assessment of quality of mental healthcare, counsel strategies and skilled helper approaches."Sample of Sources Used:
