Abstract
This paper presents the results of a case study exploring the subjective experience of Clozapine treatment in 10 clients at a major Australian psychiatric hospital. Data were categorized into: subjective improvements, observed improvements, subjective expression of concerns, side effects, and goals for the future. Responses provide direction for individualized mental health nursing care. For example, rehabilitation is ideally focused on each person's needs and goals. Such needs can best be identified by ongoing exploration of subjective and objective information.
