“…The significance of empowerment as a program principle and client outcome has gained recognition in a variety of community-based mental health agencies (Berman-Rossi & Cohen, 1989;Cohen, 1989;McCarthy & Nelson, 1991;Runyan & Faria, 1992;Rosenfield & Neese-Todd, 1993). In particular, its underlying dimensions reflect the practice principles of client self-determination, client participation in agency management, resource and skills development, and environmental change that inform psychosocial rehabilitation programs (Anthony, Cohen, & Farkas, 1982;Cnaan et al, 1988Cnaan et al, , 1990Cohen, Anthony, & Farkas, 1991). The empowerment instruments provide in their item content a measure of the personal selfdetermination that consumers (and clients of community mental health organizations) may achieve and the organizational and community activities in which they may become involved.…”

'~Empowerment" connotes a process of gaining control over one's life and influencing the organizational and societal structures in which one lives. This study defines and validates three measures: the Personal Empowerment Scale, the Organizational Empowerment Scale, and the Extra-Organizational Empowerment Scale.Measurement efforts are based on observational work, baseline inter~iews (N = 310), and six month follow-ups (N = 241) in four client-run self-help agencies (SHAs) for persons with severe mental disabilities. All three study scales demonstrated strong internal consistency and stability. They were sensitive to user changes over time and have construct validity. 1 INTROD UCTION"Empowerment" is a developing but inconsistently-defined concept. In general, it connotes a process by which individuals with lesser power gain control over their lives and influence the organizational and societal structures within which they live. A growing segment of research has focused on the meaning and process of empowerment among per-

“…Several authors suggest that work-related activities could be destigmatizing. Work is seen as an essential and integral element of normalization (Cnaan et al, 1988) and the lack of productive roles enforces the negative attitudes against mentally restored people and their relapse (Long & Runck, 1983). Vocational rehabilitation is explicitly suggested as a destigmatization strategy because work stimulates the recovery of clients and because it reduces deviance (Kaasenbrood & De Valck, 2000).…”

Despite the large amount of research on the existence and the negative consequences of stigmatization of clients of mental health services, little is known about the differences between services. Using data from 520 clients of 47 rehabilitation centers in a multilevel design, we studied organizational and individual characteristics explaining variation in social rejection and self-rejection. The results reveal that only a very small percentage of variance in stigmatization is explained by organizational features, such as size, composition of the client population and the kind of supplied activities. Client level characteristics affecting stigmatization are current mental health status, former mental hospitalization, and participation in psychotherapeutic activities.

“…Le processus est alors à poursuivre. Cnaan et al (1988) définissent la réadaptation comme un processus qui facilite le retour d'un individu à un niveau optimal de fonctionnement autonome dans la communauté. Depuis 30 ans, plusieurs programmes de réadaptation destinés à des personnes atteintes de schizophrénie ont été élaborés.…”
