1. Developing relationships with others is an important element of self-management.

2. The patient defines the meaning of the term ‘recovery’ for themselves.

3. Recovery is not possible while patients are still experiencing significant symptoms of mental illness.

4. The psychiatrist has no role to play in a patient’s recovery process.

5. It is recommended that nineteen core skills are required for self-management support. Proficiency in only a few of the core skills will still provide optimal support.

6. Behaviour change skills are peripheral skills for a psychiatrist.

7. Research evidence gives strength to motivational interviewing as a process to support behaviour change.

8. There can be considerable discrepancies between the quality and content of care that the health professional perceives they are providing and the experience of the patient and carer.

9. Self-management is facilitated by patients and carers having access to summaries of evidence, to allow informed discussion regarding management options.

10. Embedding self-management principles into practice never requires changes in the way delivery of care is structured.
