O PAPEL DO PROFISSIONAL DE SAÚDE MENTAL NO PROCESSO DE RECOVERY: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

Recovery is an approach to psychosocial problems that has been guiding mental health services in several countries with reports of high effectiveness and efficiency. This integrative review aims to contribute to greater knowledge about the role of mental health professionals in recovery-oriented work. Integrative reviews synthesize the scientific literature, emphasizing what is known about a subject of study, contributing to theoretical development especially of the health sciences. In this review several types of publication were analyzed. The literature on recovery is still relatively scarce. In the consulted health sciences databases only 10 articles about the role of professionals in recovery  were found. The main themes were the working alliance, professionals´ directive actions as well as their focus, skills and competences needed to promote changes in interpersonal, institutional and cultural spheres.
