	*Often the behavior sciences; such as psychology, barely address the concept of recovery from psychological disorders. While such do acknowledge that people do have psychological disorders, such courses of study do not address how a person with a disorder grows, changes, copes, adapts, learns or rises above the label of a disorder. After the establishment of the '''person-first language''' policy by the American Psychological Association was imposed to change the language bias of labeling a person as a disorder or an illness first and person second. Now with person first language, we would say that a person is a person first and second that a person who has a disability has a disability second to being a person; Behavior Sciences courses tuaght at colleges and universities still exist in their realm of disability first labels. Abnormal Science or Deviant Science, whether it be psychology or other wise implies the study of deviance and abnormality. In regards to pathology and nosology, anything in order to be discussed must obviously named and defined so that it may be discussed. No subject can be discussed without points of reference, without symbolic interaction communication of ideas may not be conveyed in seeking solutions for problems.		*Often the behavior sciences; such as psychology, barely address the concept of recovery from psychological disorders.

	*Using vocabulary that can help restore dignity, a person can say that they have a physical illness of the brain which involves a chemical imbalance or that neurotransmitters are not functioning as they should. The term "chemically imbalanced person" has an adjective which is modifying the noun, and limits the noun as it describes the whole being. As we would not use to describe a person with cancer as a "cancer person or cancerous individual", the more correct would be "a person with cancer."		*Using vocabulary that can help restore dignity, a person can say that they have a physical illness of the brain which involves a chemical imbalance or that neurotransmitters are not functioning as they should.

	*The author would prefer to use the term '''person in recovery''' or persons in recovery overall other terms, however sometimes another term may be more suitable depending on the context. A person receiving services from the mental health system is often referred to as a "consumer." This has certain benefits and certain shortcomings. First, it has a connotation of empowerment, as in the "customer" or primary stakeholder would have the authority that dictates proper business practices; however any person with a knowledge of biology would question the term "consumer." The term "consumer" is associated with the term "decomposer" which is similar to bacteria, fungus, insects and scavengers. What a grotesque term the word "consumer" sounds like? Another compliant about the word "consumer" is that it is a political designation; it assumes a person went out and purchased their plight and so their care may then be legislated at the will of the powers that be.		*The author would prefer to use the term '''person in recovery''' or persons in recovery overall other terms, however sometimes another term may be more suitable depending on the context.

	*In the past the terms: "recipient," "survivor", "patient", "ex-patient", "member" and "SMI" have been used. In legal terms the acronym SMI is used for '''seriously mentally ill''', which used to be SPMI for severely and persistently mentally ill or even CMI for chronically mentally ill. As one trainer at rehabilitation staff training stated SMI can be looked upon as meaning "''significantly more interesting''" suggested as a more positive way of viewing persons with psychiatric disabilities. A step further would be to say that a person is not disabled but differently abled.		*In the past the terms: "recipient," "survivor", "patient", "ex-patient", "member" and "SMI" have been used.

	*The definition of psychology is the study of mental processes and behavior of living organisms. A human being is a living organism. Behavior is anything that an organism does, whereas recovery is something that a person with psychiatric condition does. It is perhaps the significant detail about psychiatric conditions which are not discussed in abnormal or deviant psychology courses. In establishing this first-person language to describe individuals with the conditions, during the academic semester of a course entitled "abnormal" or "deviant" would be counterproductive. Such courses commonly entitled "Abnormal Psychology" should be replaced with courses entitled "Recovery Psychology", or such a course should be developed as an alternative to the prior, or that the so-coined recovery model should be more expressed and-or represented in such studies of Behavior Sciences, which often precede Medical studies or courses, or upper graduate study. Behavior is defined as: anything that an organism or person does. People do recover, so therefore would not recovery also be a behavior.
