Strengths assessments focus on the individual's talents, abilities, resources, and strengths. No systematic review of strengths assessments for use within mental health populations has been published. The aims of this study were to describe and evaluate strengths assessments for use within mental health services. A systematic review identified 12 strengths assessments (5 quantitative, 7 qualitative). The Strengths Assessment Worksheet (SAW) was the most widely utilized and evaluated qualitative assessment. Psychometric properties of the assessments were assessed against set quality criteria. Data on psychometric properties were available for 4 measures. The Client Assessment of Strengths, Interests and Goals (CASIG) had the strongest psychometric evidence. The SAW and CASIG assessments can be tentatively recommended within clinical practice, although the evidence for all strengths assessments is currently limited. To describe the content of the strengths assessment, the items used to operationalize the concept of strengths in each assessment were extracted and themed. Twenty-four themes were identified and organized into 3 overarching categories: individual factors, environmental factors, and interpersonal factors. These categories form the basis of an empirically based definition of strengths that could be used as a conceptual foundation for new clinical assessments.

“…During the first session, following orientation to the program, HOPES-I coaches administered the Client’s Assessment of Strengths, Interests, and Goals (CASIG; Wallace, Lecomte, Wilde & Liberman, 2001), to evaluate physical health, medication and symptom management, substance abuse, social functioning, communication skill, personal hygiene, instrumental activities of daily living, work, and leisure functioning as potential areas in need of skills training. Feedback on the CASIG was provided during the second session to facilitate discussion of recovery-oriented goals and identification of the first HOPES-I module to receive.…”

Objectives This paper describes a pilot test of an individually tailored program to improve community living and health self-management skills in older adults with serious mental illness. Methods This study provided the Helping Older People Experience Success – Individually Tailored (HOPES-I) intervention, an adaptation of an empirically supported, manualized, group-based skills training program shown to improve community functioning, psychiatric symptoms, self-efficacy, and receipt of preventive health. HOPES-I targets five skill areas: leisure time, communication, independent living, friendships, and health self-management. We enrolled 47 adults age 50 and older (mean age=62) with serious mental illness (38% schizophrenia spectrum, 62% mood disorders). Trained HOPES-I coaches evaluated participants’ skills and functioning and engaged them in shared decision making to select which curricular areas to receive. Participants received one HOPES-I session per week for 9–12 months, with assessments of overall psychosocial functioning and the five skill areas targeted by the program at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3- and 6-months. Results Participants with baseline impairments in overall functioning and in each of the skill areas targeted by the program demonstrated significant improvements on related outcome measures. Selection of specific HOPES-I curriculum was not associated with level of impairment in associated skill areas at baseline, but participants with more impairment overall chose and completed more curriculum modules. Conclusions and Implications for Practice The results of this study support the feasibility and potential benefits of an individually tailored skills training program for the rapidly growing and vulnerable group of older people with serious mental illness.

“…The assessment of spiritual needs and by whom and how the patient wants those needs to be addressed is an essential part of care management [12,13]. In a study evaluating the concordance between a psychiatric rehabilitation program and patients' goals, 22% of patients set S/R goals for the ongoing year, yet they perceived offered services as insufficient toward those goals [14].…”

Spirituality and religiousness (S/R) are resources for finding meaning and hope in suffering and have been identified as key components in the process of psychological recovery. However, religion may also be associated with psycho-pathology, suffering and non-adherence with psychiatric treatment. Based on a literature review, this paper examines how S/R can be integrated in the treatment of patients with serious mental illness. We implemented a pilot -Spirituality and Recovery Group‖ designed to (1) help patients to resort to S/R as a means of recovery; (2) work on resolving conflicts between S/R and life issues and treatment; and (3) provide information on S/R in the context of psychosis. Preliminary results are presented.
