Conceptualisations of recovery from psychosis have evolved over time, from medically defined models of symptom reduction, to more recent definitions of subjective recovery. First-episode psychosis (FEP) individuals present as a group who are in the early stages of adjustment to the experience of a psychotic illness. Due to the typically early age of onset, they are also in the process of adjusting to major life and role changes. This paper addresses how recovery from FEP has been conceptualised and measured in the literature, and focuses on the validity of applying such measures and concepts specifically to an FEP group.;Key terms: First episode psychosis, subjective recovery, recovery and early intervention in psychosis.
