Abstract:
Recovering from a mental disorder is a process by which the affected person will develop a new life project, based on the optimal use of personal and environmental resources. This involves adapting and managing certain symptoms better, in order to be able to rebuild oneself psychologically. This may be the case for delusions, which need to be distanced and accepted in order to develop this new life stage in. In this perspective, the notions of mourning for the self and mourning for delusional beliefs seem to be necessary steps in the reconstruction of a self that is favourable to recovery.
