Recovering from schizophrenia is a vast field yet to be explored. Review of literature shows that theories have considerably evolved since daementia praecox has been described. Kraepelin’s description has had the consequence of associating schizophrenia to an adverse evolution — and so it is for the severe mental illness as a whole. Catamnestic studies have contradicted this conception, but it is mainly due to the patients and families of patients associations and first person accounts that the fields of psychiatry and psychology will owe these changes. Then, different paradigms were used to model remitting, recovering or rehabilitation.
