[edit] NPOV

Weasel words? Straw men? Something seems odd here.

"In the U.S. self-help, family members, advocacy groups, NIHM, the Rehabilitation Services Administration, and many state agencies, however psychiatric rehabilitation continues to be of little interest to university educators of mental health professionals"
"Attempts are being made by some people and organizations to transform the mental health system to a recovery-based one, with expanded choices of recovery-based services and supports."

I've made a few edits with the aim of improving the NPOV/flow. Both paragraphs are sourced. Are you happy for the NPOV-check tag to be removed? If not could you clarify what you feel is needed, or improve yourself. EverSince 15:38, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm pretty much reading this as a not terribly subtle jab at "university educators of mental health professionals." This is not a Neutral Point Of View. This appears to be venting of an intraprofessional grudge.
Flow is much improved, though.--Larry 08:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh I see what you mean - I didn't add that paragraph myself and didn't quite pick up on that. I do agree with how it seems. For now I've removed it and left a msg on the editor's talk page in case. The other statement you quoted I did add and is directly sourced by the cite at the end of the paragraph. EverSince 10:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
This seems better. I'll remove the NPOV-check tag. --Larry 00:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

I'm wondering whether this article should actually go under the title of "Recovery model". That title does have the problem of not appearing specific to mental health/psych, and e.g. might find a recovery model of reactions in chemistry or whatever, but Googling does suggest this is a phrase with a particular usage in mental health. "Psychosocial recovery" is perhaps used in a slightly different sense (and a narrower one in the scientific literature - the opposite of psychosocial disability) and does bring up a different kind of page in Google. So I'm suggesting changing this article to the term "Recovery model" unless any alternative suggestions. EverSince 11:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
