Vocational Rehabilitation of the Psychiatric Patient: A Case Study of Seven Patients Referred for Vocational Training Following Discharge From the Jacob Reiss Mental Health Pavilion, St. Vincent's Hospital of the City of New York, June, 1957 Through June, 1959
Abstract
Rehabilitation has been defined as "an all out concerted, dynamic process that involves the use of professional skills and community resources, when they are necessary, to help handicapped people achieve the maximum functioning of which they are capable. With reference to the mentally ill patient then, rehabilitation may be conceived of as an extremely broad process embracing all procedures designed to overcome the morbid patterns of the mental illness and to restore the patient to effective personal, social, and vocational functioning within the community. This study will be concerned with one important aspect of the patient's total reintegration into the community....that of vocational rehabilitation.
