Accepted Answer

The client's statement reflects the Awareness stage, which is characterized by the recognition that life can still be meaningful despite the presence of illness or disability. The Moratorium stage is marked by a period of confusion and disorientation, the Preparation stage by planning for life with the illness or disability, and the Rebuilding stage by actually implementing the plans and regaining a sense of control and purpose.

C)"The goal of recovery is the ability to live a self-directed life."

The statement "The goal of recovery is expedient, comprehensive behavioral change" does not accurately reflect the concept of recovery as it applies to mental illness. Recovery is a complex process that involves multiple dimensions, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. It is not simply about changing behaviors, but rather about restoring a sense of purpose, hope, and connection to others. The other statements accurately reflect the goals of recovery.
