Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explore what is meant by the term recovery language and the use of mental health language in today’s society.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper is an exploration of the use of recovery language and the application in modern day mental health services.

Findings

The language that is used to describe mental health is often based on a traditional medical model primarily focussing on diagnosis, symptoms and problems. This is a stark difference to the modern day use of recovery orientated language.

Practical implications

This paper can be used as a discussion topic in teams to explore themes around recovery language.

Originality/value

This paper explores issues of language in mental health that are central to recovery and the development of recovery-focussed services.

Abstract

The rise of arts and culture is transforming citizen politics. Though new to many social scientists, this is a commonplace for many policy makers. We seek to overcome this divide by joining culture and the arts with classic concepts of political analysis. We offer an analytical framework incorporating the politics of cultural policy alongside the typical political and economic concerns. Our framework synthesizes several research streams that combine in global factors driving the articulation of culture into political/economic processes. The contexts of Toronto and Chicago are explored as both enhanced the arts dramatically, but Toronto engaged artists qua citizens, while Chicago did not.
