OBJECTIVE: This paper examines the types of goals being set by individuals in the context of Australian mental health services and whether goal type differs across the stages of recovery. METHODS: Goal records of 144 individuals accessing services were reviewed to examine goal content, ratio of approach and avoidance oriented goals and changes across stages of psychological recovery. RESULTS: Individuals further along in their recovery set significantly more approach goals and types of goals set appeared to reflect broader life roles. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Setting approach goals and goals that reflect broader life roles tends to support the definition of psychological recovery as being "the movement towards" greater meaning and enhanced sense of self.
