Mental health settings serving the severely psychiatrically disabled or the long-term chronic client have begun developing a rehabilitation orientation in an attempt to increase their effectiveness with this group. The authors have, in an earlier work, described basic elements of a rehabilitation program. These elements have been refined. Forty rehabilitation-oriented community and hospital agencies were assessed in terms of the presence or absence of these elements of a rehabilitation approach. Results indicate that the programs in the agencies clearly value client involvement and a program focus on improving skill and resource utilization. These concepts, however, are only beginning to be systematically implemented in practice.
为严重精神残疾者或长期慢性病患者提供服务的心理健康机构已开始形成一种康复导向，试图提高其对这一群体的服务效果。作者在早期的一项研究中描述了康复项目的基本要素。这些要素已得到完善。对40个以康复为导向的社区和医院机构是否具备这些康复方法要素进行了评估。结果表明，这些机构中的项目显然重视服务对象的参与以及以提高技能和资源利用为重点的项目。然而，这些理念在实践中才刚刚开始得到系统实施。
