Shared decision making (SDM) is being considered increasingly important in today's medical practice. This approach should also be promoted in the field of mental health. We developed a question prompt sheet (QPS) for persons with schizophrenia as a decision aid to empower them with autonomy. We published it on the website as a free download available to the general public. The therapeutic relationships respecting otherness between mental health service users and professionals can be the basis of recovery-oriented support. This article aims to introduce the background and process of making a QPS and to rethink recovery and growth from the viewpoint of dialogism.
