The Prevention of Relapse of Chronic Mental Patients

Analyzing Vocational Outcomes of Individuals With Psychiatric Disabilities Who Received State Vocational Rehabilitation Services: a Data Mining Approach

“…It is also possible that vocational rehabilitation practitioners either consider that competitive employment for their persons with psychiatric disabilities is infeasible or do not consider those individuals to be work-ready. However, work is widely considered to be therapeutic for persons with psychiatric disabilities when properly structured with an appropriate job match, and it has been almost 40 years since it was fi rst recognized that non-vocational approaches with emphases on insight and skill training in contrived environments do not generalize to improved work capacity (Vitale & Steinbach, 1965;Wilder et al, 1966). Although there is repeated evidence of the limited generalizability of train and place models, persons with psychiatric disabilities have consistently demonstrated superior vocational gains in place and train models (Bond, 1992).…”

Psychiatric aftercare clinic effectiveness as a function of patient demographic characteristics.

“…However, the methodology of the present study differs in one important way from the previous studies of aftercare clinics (Hornstra & McPartland, 1963;Kris, 1963;Kris & Carmichael, 1956;Mendel & Rapport, 1963;Orlinsky & D'Elia, 1964;Pollack, 1958;Vitale & Steinbach, 1965). Except for Orlinsky and D'Elia (1964), the samples used in these studies did not include all of the patients discharged from the psychiatric hospital (s) in that particular community.…”

Efficacy of day care treatment against readmission in patients with schizophrenia: A comparison between out‐patients with and without day care treatment

“…However, in Western countries, previous studies are inconsistent with regard to the relationship between DC treatment and its effectiveness for rehabilitation. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Regarding the readmission rate after DC treatment, several studies [1][2][3] have reported that DC treatment is not associated with a decreased readmission rate, whereas some have supported the relationship between DC treatment and a decreased readmission rate. 4,5 Guy et al 1 showed that patients with DC treatment required a shorter period of hospitalization than those without DC treatment in spite of the similar readmission rate between these two groups.…”

“…Day care (DC) treatment has been established as rehabilitation for patients with mental disorders. However, in Western countries, previous studies are inconsistent with regard to the relationship between DC treatment and its effectiveness for rehabilitation 1–7 . Regarding the readmission rate after DC treatment, several studies 1–3 have reported that DC treatment is not associated with a decreased readmission rate, whereas some have supported the relationship between DC treatment and a decreased readmission rate 4,5 .…”
