Stability and mutual prospective relationships of stereotyped beliefs about mental illness, hope and depressive symptoms among people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders

While the definition of recovery is still work in progress, its broad framework is already determined. Recovery processes comprise individually biomedical, psychological, social and political processes. (Bellack, 2006; Williams et al., 2015). Focussing on the psychological perspectives of recovery, hope is known to encourage recovery (Allot et al., 2002; Andresen et al., 2003) whereas depressive symptoms and internalized stigma are identified as barriers to recovery processes in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (Corrigan et al., 2009; Munoz et al., 2011; Oexle et al., 2018; Wallcraft, 2012).
