The choose-get-keep model of psychiatric rehabilitation: A synopsis of recent studies.

Abstract

Comprehensive review of studies using the choose-get-keep (CGK) process model of psychiatric rehabilitation. Also, other studies are identified that have demonstrated methodologies useful in future research on the CGK model. Intervention Model: The CGK process is conceptualized as the phases through which people with psychiatric disabilities proceed as they engage in psychiatric rehabilitation. Conclusion: The CGK model is a potentially useful psychiatric rehabilitation intervention that can be implemented in a variety of service settings and that focuses on the activities of the practitioner and the service recipient. The CGK model warrants further empirical study to examine its effectiveness.

The Impact of a Recovery-Based Program on Veterans with Long Inpatient Psychiatric Stays

“…The Choose-Get-Keep process is independent of a specific setting, staffing pattern, and discipline, but focuses on what both the practitioner and the person do to help the person reach his or her rehabilitation goals (Rogers et al, 2006). The purpose of the Choose-Get-Keep approach is to help people identify and achieve community goals that are meaningful to them.…”

“…The Choose-Get-Keep process of PR was developed at the Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation in the 1980s. The process was first used in the area of vocational rehabilitation and then expanded to educational and housing environments (Lamberti, Melburg, & Madi, 1998;Rogers, Anthony, & Farkas, 2006).…”

Bridging science to service: Using Rehabilitation Research and Training Center program to ensure that research-based knowledge makes a difference

“…Currently, at least 39 states have adopted a mission statement or policy about the potential of consumers to recover [21]. In another example, the Center developed and evaluated a structured psychiatric rehabilitation process for helping consumers choose, get, and keep the roles they prefer [44,65,87]. In addition to being implemented in numerous programs in more than 20 countries around the world, this process was recently nominated as one of Oregon's approved evidence-based practices.…”

“…strategies do not produce expertise without the input of a supervisor or mentor to provide feedback on the implementation effort [84]. The Center has developed a series of practitioner training curricula to support such supervisors or mentors in developing expertise in the psychiatric rehabilitation approach [83,[85][86], a promising practice developed by the Center KT specialists and researched over a 30-year period [87]. Embedding strategies require complex knowledge utilization methods to increase the implementation of the new findings or innovation.…”

Psychosocial rehabilitation: Approach of choice for those with serious mental illnesses

“…Preexperimental studies, quasi-experimental research, and two RCTs have been conducted on this approach in the domains of employment, housing, and education [99][100][101]. Positive outcomes have been identified in the areas of quality of life, housing status, work status, and other role functioning, as well as a decrease in service use [99,102].…”
