Use of Language

In working with researchers to promote recovery, I have not always been able to control the language used by the researchers in charge of the projects with which I have worked. I chose to put my name on papers because I had made substantial contributions and the overall subject promoted recovery. I find some of the language offensive like the term "chronic mental illness." The end of getting the research out there that mutual support works seems more important than the particular language researchers insensitive to labelling theory and research choose to use.
