Abstract

The historical roots and contextual matrices from which Recovery Orientation and Person-centered Care have arisen are reviewed along with their current conceptual bases and profiles. Then, they are systematically compared in terms origins, conceptual definitions, key elements, clinical uses, education and training, and research lines. Such contrasts yielded indications of both differentiation and convergence. These hold implications for the further development of these perspectives and their prospective contributions to the whole health field.
