Abstract:
This article explores the benefits and challenges of a standardized, recovery-oriented assessment for individuals with psychotic disorders. It highlights its potential to improve clinical follow-up, personalize therapeutic interventions, and promote active patient participation in their care journey. The "A Step Towards Recovery" assessment, implemented at the Geneva University Hospitals, illustrates this approach. The data collected support the coconstruction of a care plan taking into account the patient's needs, resources, and objectives. While facing certain challenges in implementation within healthcare services, this approach represents a significant advance toward recovery-oriented psychiatry.
