“…This finding is consistent with research on coping with symptoms, which has found that overall coping efficacy is higher among people who report using more coping strategies (12)(13)(14)(15). In addition, the number of different coping strategies used by employment specialists was correlated with the percentage of clients on their caseloads who were working, even after the analysis controlled for the educational level of the specialists.…”

Objective: This study evaluated the strategies used by employment specialists to help clients in supported employment programs manage cognitive impairments that interfered with obtaining and keeping jobs. Methods: Twenty-five supported employment specialists were surveyed to identify strategies they used to help their clients cope with cognitive problems in the domains of attention, psychomotor speed, memory, and problem solving. Then, 50 employment specialists were surveyed to determine whether they used each of the different coping strategies generated in the first part of the study. For each strategy used, they rated how effective it was. Results: Employment specialists reported using a total of 76 different strategies for helping their clients cope with cognitive difficulties. The specialists reported using an average of 48 different coping strategies, which they rated on average as just below effective. Strategies for dealing with attention problems were rated as more effective than strategies used in the other three domains. The number of coping strategies that they reported using was significantly correlated with the perceived effectiveness of the strategies and the proportion of clients in their caseload who were working. Conclusions: Supported employment specialists were actively involved in helping clients cope with their cognitive impairments. Use of more strategies was correlated with specialists' greater perceived effectiveness of the strategies and with higher rates of working clients on their caseloads, although the reasons for these associations are unclear. Further research is needed to evaluate whether employment specialists' use of more strategies to help clients cope with cognitive problems contributes to better work outcomes.

“…Dittmann and Schuttler (1990) found inpatients with schizophrenia reported that withdrawal was the most effective strategy for coping with emotional disturbances resulting from psychotic experiences. In other contexts, however, social withdrawal (Falloon and Talbot, 1981), "emotional avoidance" (Gross, 1989), "tendency towards isolation" (Cohen and Berk, 1985), "tendency towards passivity," and "spoiling oneself" (Carr, 1988) have been characterized as less adaptive responses to mood changes. Studies also note that increased social activity is often used as a way to facilitate coping (Mueser et al, 1997), improvement (Roe et al, 2004), and deal with depressed mood (Lee et al, 1993).…”

Previous case reports on autocastration have focused mostly on psychiatric and surgical (urology) interventions since most of such individuals appear overtly psychotic and require serious medical involvement due to the nature of their trauma. The importance of psychological support after stabilization has been largely overlooked. This paper describes an adolescent who was followed up for 2 years after an act of autocastration emanating from a religious based ordering hallucination.
