The authors describe a skills training group for chronic mental patients called Successful Living that is offered in conjunction with an outpatient medication clinic at a Veterans Administration hospital. The weekly group operates on a drop-in basis and focuses on helping patients select and attain short- and long-term goals. Goal attainment is accomplished primarily through rehearsal of needed behaviors and specific homework assignments for repeating behaviors outside the group. Goals selected by an original group of 22 participants indicate that given the opportunity, chronic patients do want to change their social situation; moreover, 88 percent of completed homework assignments, or 49 percent of the total assignments, had desirable outcomes.
作者描述了一个针对慢性精神病患者的技能培训小组，名为“成功生活”，该小组与一家退伍军人管理局医院的门诊药物治疗诊所联合开展。这个每周一次的小组采用随到随学的方式，重点帮助患者选择并实现短期和长期目标。目标的实现主要通过对所需行为的演练以及为在小组外重复行为而布置的特定家庭作业来完成。最初的22名参与者所选择的目标表明，只要有机会，慢性病患者确实希望改变他们的社会状况；此外，88%的已完成家庭作业，即全部作业的49%，都取得了理想的结果。
