| Abstract: | The post-treatment work adjustment of mental patients receiving rehabilitation services is extremely difficult to evaluate. A follow-up study of 223 patients referred for vocational rehabilitation to the Mental Health and Manpower project from the Fort Logan Health Center revealed percentages of patients successfully employed or in training which appear to be slightly higher than those usually reported. There were marked differences in post-rehabilitation adjustment between alcoholic and psychiatric referrals. These differences in success rates appeared to be partly a function of type of placement (i.e., direct job placement, on-the-job placement, or institutional training placement). |
