Abstract This article reviews the findings from two small scale studies - one quantitative and one qualitative - that examined the career patterns of persons with serious mental illness, in which consumers reported on the types of jobs, wages and benefits, job duration, job satisfaction, and reasons for job changes throughout their careers. Both studies report that consumers have held many jobs, often successfully, and often stayed at their jobs for periods of time roughly comparable to their non-disabled co-workers. However, because most jobs were in entry-level and low-wage fields, these long-term career patterns were often marked by little economic progress. The authors suggest that the vocational rehabilitation field needs to reconceptualize both the past careers of this population and the careers that many of those with serious mental illness will be likely to have in the future.

Abstract Treatment process and outcome data for 225 consecutive admissions to a rehabilitation program for the homeless were reviewed. The Northeast Program Evaluation Center's criteria were employed to evaluate participation and outcome (e.g., general, employment, and housing) for participants. Significant relationships were found between predominant personality features and degree of participation in program and living arrangements at discharge.

Abstract Using multiple measures of organizational commitment and a measure of perceived organizational support, this study examined the degree of assimilation of consumer providers within the New Jersey psychiatric rehabilitation workforce. Both consumer and non-consumer staff were surveyed and compared on all measures. Four hundred and thirty five staff from 22 programs providing psychiatric rehabilitation services completed the survey. Fifteen percent of respondents (n = 64) identified themselves as consumers of mental health services. Results indicated that consumer providers felt more supported by their employers than did non-consumer providers. In addition, consumer providers reported greater levels of some types of organizational commitment than their non-consumer colleagues. In no case did non-consumer providers report higher organizational commitment or organizational support. Several possible explanations for these findings are discussed.

Abstract The development of entrepreneurial businesses is described as an integral part of psychosocial rehabilitation programs for men and women with a serious mental illness. The benefits of an agency-run business in attracting new persons to the overall program are emphasized, particularly where other employment opportunities in the community are slim. In addition, agency-run businesses can increase an agency's visibility and result in additional competitive employment opportunities. The challenges in merging dual missions are also addressed, including steering the business to solvency and facilitating career ladders for good employees who deserve a menu of employment options.

Abstract Accounts in the literature show that our understanding of the current needs and problems of mental health services in Mainland China is based on unsystematic observations and theoretical extrapolation. There has not been a survey of practitioners on its current status. This paper describes a small-scale survey conducted in a large psychiatric hospital in Beijing in 1998, which addressed the issues and problems hindering the community integration of people with mental illness, the current concerns of practitioners, and the difficulties hindering the further development of mental health services in Beijing. A specially designed questionnaire was distributed to eligible staff members of the hospital through the chief psychiatrist. Thirty-four questionnaires were returned and analyzed using descriptive and cross-tab statistics. Social discrimination, unsatisfactory social networks, unsatisfactory social skills and lack of community-based rehabilitation facilities were regarded as the most significant problems faced by individuals with severe mental illness returning to the community. Medication, relapse prevention, and family intervention were the issues that attracted the current attention of most respondents. Reservations about the development of vocational rehabilitation were noted. The major difficulties hindering further development of psychiatric rehabilitation include lack of funding, rehabilitation professionals, and physical resources. As the needs and circumstances in China are different from those in Western countries, social and cultural differences must be considered before Western models of rehabilitation can be modified and adopted in China.

Abstract The employment of consumer providers in psychiatric rehabilitation service delivery systems is a growing trend. In New Jersey, several new state funded initiatives have called for the inclusion of consumer providers on treatment teams. While this trend is potentially beneficial for both the consumers receiving services and those providing them, the dual role of consumer and service provider also raises a number of challenging issues. One of these is the creation of essentially second-class positions that may foster discrimination. A variety of strategies have been used to address challenges faced by consumer providers. In New Jersey, this has included the development of a university-based certificate program designed to promote the integration of consumer providers with their non-consumer colleagues.

Abstract Securing and maintaining employment continues to challenge people with psychiatric disabilities in spite of the availability of alternative methods for enabling people to obtain community employment. One model, the Lodge Program, has been in existence for over 30 years. The process of lodge reinvention to support full-time employment is examined in a case study of Tasks Unlimited, a lodge program in Minnesota. Implications for rehabilitation practitioners' roles in creating supports for full-time employment are discussed.
