Methods
to assess the
process of how
addicts become
recovering helpers
to examine what is
the connection
between recovery
The study was conducted in two drug rehabilitation centers
Participants: five male one female professional recovering helpers
Semi-structured interviews were conducted by the author of this book (the interviews
lasted 45-90 min.)
Questions assessed experiences as users, during the recovery process and while
working as helpers in the addiction field
Topics that emerged from the text were first ordered into “emergent themes” and then
chronologically organized to reflect temporality or logic within the themes and “master
themes” formed
and help ing by To increase reliability the emergent themes and master themes were defined in a group

During the analysis emergent themes were formed and in the second stage patterns
across the emergent themes were identified and clustered into master themes

to assess how
identity formation
is affected by the
use of SCs
The study was conducted in two drug rehabilitation centers, that work with a recovery
approach
Participants: 6 male patients who were self-identified SC users and attended treatment
Semi-structured interviews were conducted by the author of this book (the interviews
lasted 45-60 min.)
Questions assessed participants’ experiences of SC use, and how did they perceive
themselves when they used the drug
During the analysis, initial notes and comments were added upon the close reading of
the interview transcript, and these were grouped into emergent themes. In the second
stage, patterns and themes across the emergent themes were identified a clustered into
more abstract master themes
To increase reliability the emergent themes and master themes were defined in a group
of researchers (the researchers who were the members of this group are co-authors of

individuals
to examine how
participants make
sense of their

by utilizing IPA
The study was conducted in the Semmelweis University Community Psychiatry Centre
Awakenings Foundation voice hearers’ self-help group
Participants: three female and three male patients were recruited who were members of
the voice hearing self-help group and who have experience of recovery from a mental
health problem
Semi-structured interviews were conducted by an interviewer (Marta Kiss) who is
working as a psychologist at the Foundation and knows the interviewees personally
Questions assessed the experience of voice hearing and recovery, interviewees were
asked to tell the interviewer freely about their life, especially about their psychic
disorders, problems or difficulties and about recovery
During the analysis the interview transcripts were analyzed; primary themes, keywords
and notes were identified, after active re-reading emergent themes were characterized,
by merging the emergent themes, master themes were defined
To increase reliability the emergent themes and master themes were defined in a group
of researchers (the researchers who were the members of this group are co-authors of
the Study 4)
