Summary Background: Mental health rehabilitation services focus on people with severe and complex problems that impair their function and make them potentially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. They require longer term treatment and support from a range of inpatient and community services that hold therapeutic optimism and adopt a recovery orientation. Aims: In recent years, specific tools and processes have been developed to facilitate assessment of the quality of care in services that provide rehabilitation. These include the built environments where people receive support, the therapeutic culture of these facilities, the treatments and interventions provided, the degree to which autonomy and community engagement are promoted, and the process for safeguarding human rights. Results: When local rehabilitation services are available, most people are able to be successfully discharged to the community, achieving greater independence incrementally. The quality of inpatient rehabilitation services has been shown to be positively associated with service users’ autonomy, the main aim of rehabilitation, with the most important aspect being the recovery orientation of the service.

“…Family and friends are often actively involved and domi ciliary visits made.

This paper concerns a new clinical role for psychiatric nurses--as case managers for selected adult neurotics with behaviour problems. The role involves unusual autonomy. The selection and training procedures are unusually rigorous and focus on general case-management as much as behavioural skills. The number of service posts offered these therapists is rising. These developments have wide implications for other personnel, particularly in respect of authority and responsibility boundaries, selection and training procedures, and team structure.

“…Concerns regarding the 'antitherapeutic' nature of institutional settings are echoed in various Inquiry reports relating to the high-security hospitals (Boynton, 1980;BlomCooper et al, 1992;Fallon et al, 1999). However, institutional practices are by no means con ned to large settings (Bennett, 1978;Wing and Brown, 1970). General mental health services have moved away from 'total institution' models of care in which 'in-house' facilities to meet all patients' needs lead to the formation of segregated 'mini-societies' with little contact with the outside world.…”
