Abbott P - Self-determination theory has been offered as a potential theoretical framework for recovery. It has been argued that a concept as wide-ranging as recovery seems likely to require a number of theoretical frameworks, including self-determination theory, which appears to be particularly applicable to the clinical and social dimensions of this concept. With its emphasis on social competence and environmental support, self-determination theory may be particularly useful as a framework for considering recovery in client groups with higher levels of service need associated with disability or risk.
