The aim of this study is to explore how material things might become involved in the recovery process of people with mental health difficulties.
Empirical material from three different studies on various aspects concerning mental health issues that each of the authors had conducted was reanalysed through a phenomenological item analysis.
We discovered that mundane objects such as a mobile phone, a bench, a door and a key have agency to contribute to peoples' recovery and wellbeing. Things became agents that created contexts that initiated physical, social and emotional movements.
By giving attention to materiality we might become aware of the importance of things as agents in living in general and in recovery processes for people with mental health difficulties in particular.
本研究旨在探讨物质如何可能参与心理健康障碍患者的康复过程。
通过现象学项目分析，重新分析了三位作者各自进行的关于心理健康问题的不同研究中的实证材料。
我们发现，手机、长凳、门和钥匙等平凡的物品都具有促进人们康复和幸福的作用。这些物品成为了创造环境的主体，从而引发了身体、社会和情感的运动。
通过关注物质性，我们可能会意识到物质作为主体在生活中的重要性，特别是对有心理健康障碍的人的康复过程。
