“…Case management for people with serious mental illness can be described as a "process or method for insuring that the consumer is provided needed services in a coordinated, effective and efficient manner" (Pratt et al, 2007). The need for case management services originally arose out of the process of deinstitutionalization, through which the locus of treatment for people with serious mental illness moved from the hospital to the community (Mueser et al, 1998;Pratt et al, 2007). This required them to take a more active role in the selection and coordination of mental health services, a role with which they often need assistance (Mueser et al, 1998;Pratt et al, 2007).…”

Case management services for people with serious mental illness are generally found to be effective, but controlled and randomized studies assessing such services are scarce. The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of a new strengths-based case management (SBCM) service in Israel, using a randomized controlled approach. The sample consisted of 1276 individuals with serious mental illness, who consume psychiatric rehabilitation services (PRS) in the community, and were randomly assigned to receive or not to receive the SBCM service in addition to treatment-as-usual PRS. Quality of life, goal setting and attainment, unmet needs, self-efficacy, interpersonal relationships, symptom severity, and service utilization were assessed by clients at onset and after 20 months. Results show that SBCM participants improved in self-efficacy, unmet needs, and general quality of life, and set more goals than the control group. SBCM participants also consumed fewer services at follow-up. Results suggest that SBCM services are effective in helping individuals with serious mental illness set personal goals and use PRS in a better and more focused manner.
