Abstract
A structured interview was used to gather information pertaining to social network support and the recovery process among individuals participating in psychosocial clubhouses. Using a cross-sectional, longitudinal design, a sample of clubhouse members participated in an initial interview (n = 221). A follow-up interview with 80% of the participants was conducted approximately 14 months later. A social process model predicting recovery revealed that social network support as well as reciprocity with network members significantly contributes to understanding the recovery process over time. The study attempts to contribute to an earlier investigation of social network support and recovery from mental illness (Corrigan & Phelan, 2004).
