Download or read book Recovery From Disability written by Robert P. Liberman and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2009-02-20 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is right for recovery from serious mental disorders. Mental health professionals and state and local mental health agencies are responding to a national call for action on recovery: from the President's Commission on Mental Health, the Surgeon General, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. But how can recovery from mental disorders become a reality? Recovery From Disability describes the principles and practices of psychiatric rehabilitation to bridge the gap between what is known and what actually can be used to achieve recovery for patients in real-life mental health programs. The book draws on Dr. Robert Paul Liberman's 40 years of designing, testing, and disseminating innovative treatments for persons with mental disabilities. Illuminating up-to-date treatment techniques that reflect a consensus of experts regarding evidence-based practices, Dr. Liberman shows how recovery can be the rule rather than the exception. This practical book addresses day-to-day realities faced by practitioners who must wrestle with the individualized needs and personal goals of each patient while drawing up a rehabilitation roadmap to recovery. Written in a down-to-earth manner with minimal jargon, this clinical manual is intended for everyday use. Brimming with clear advice and ideas for effective services, the book is relevant to the work of all mental health disciplines, administrators, consumer advocates, and clinicians with all levels of experience. Practice-based evidence is highlighted by an abundance of real-life examples and a host of graphic aids. The author addresses the particular needs of Latino patients and takes up the latest developments in rehabilitation, such as illness management, social and independent living skills training, neurocognitive pharmacology, cognitive remediation, and use of computers in rehabilitation. Each chapter contains information, techniques, and treatment methods that enable clinicians to: Help patients select realistic yet personally meaningful goals for enriching their lives Teach patients how to stabilize their symptoms and cognitive impairments Train patients in social and independent living skills for empowerment and autonomy Educate family members and other caregivers to collaborate with mental health professionals in overcoming their loved one's disability Provide access to vocational rehabilitation, including supported employment Facilitate comprehensiveness, continuity, and coordination of competency-based rehabilitation, using personal support specialists, assertive community treatment, and integrated mental health care Dr. Liberman also describes how to customize services that are effective for individuals with more than one disorder, whose disorder is refractory to customary pharmacological and psychosocial treatments, or whose adaptation to community life is marred by aggressive behavior. With its wealth of rich and immediately applicable treatment approaches, Recovery From Disability will help professionals equip mentally disabled patients to reach their personally relevant goals and progress on the road to recovery.
Download or read book Measuring the Effect of Supported Employment Treatment on Self efficacy in Individuals with Severe Mental Illness written by Meghan Szczebak and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive employment is a common goal for those with severe mental illness (SMI), and evidence shows that the majority of those with SMI want to work. However, despite the desire to work competititvely, those with SMI have the highest unemployment rate of any disability group (Mueser, Salyers, & Muesar, 2001). The Recovery Model is an approach to Supported Employment that has provided hope for those with mental illness, as well as challenged treatment providers to adopt a more collaborative, optimistic approach to helping clients live fulfilling, self-directed lives. To increase employment for those with SMI, effective vocational rehabilitation methods must be investigated and implemented. Only a few demographic and clinical factors correlate with future vocational outcomes, including work history, participation in an individual placement, and support vocational rehabilitation models such as Supported Employment, and self-efficacy. Despite decades of research demonstrating the advantages of Supported Employment model over traditional methods (Burns et al., 2007) the mechanisms for this success are not fully understood. In particular, any interaction between Supported Employment and self-efficacy needs to be more fully examined. This study utilized the Work-Related Self-Efficacy Scale (WSES), a psychometric tool designed specifically for the SMI population (Waghorn, Chant, & King, 2005), to investigate a possible effect of Supported Employment on self-efficacy. A treatment group of 39 participants in a Supported Employment program completed the WSES before entering the program, and after completing various stages of vocational treatment. Treatment consisted of a 10-week psycho-educational class, volunteer work and individual vocational counseling. Clients who obtained employment received 30 days of post-employment support, including benefits counseling and peer support meetings. A control group (n=19), were given the WSES at 30-day intervals. Repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the data set. Results indicated that the supported employment program participants experienced an increase in work-related self-efficacy as compared to those individuals in the control group. This study adds meaningful information to the growing research on vocational self-efficacy for persons with SMI. In addition, it supports the WSES as a method of feedback to the service-delivery system and related clinical vocational programs to target and improve treatment in order to maximize scarce vocational resources and increase vocational outcomes.

Download or read book New Thinking About Mental Health and Employment written by Bob Grove and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently it has been assumed that people who experience severe and enduring mental health problems are unable to work, unless or until they recover. That assumption is now being challenged by international research demonstrating that, with the right support, people can succeed in finding and keeping a job even when they continue to need support from mental health services. New Thinking about Mental Health and Employment draws together the research undertaken to date and combines it with mental health service users’ perspectives on the workplace to validate key points. Vital reading at both policy and practitioner levels, this book will be of great value to mental health nurses, social workers, general practitioners, psychiatrists and occupational therapists. It will also be of interest to employment advisors, government departments, commissioners, and policy makers and shapers.
