Abstract

A longitudinal study followed 55 homeless and severely mentally ill clients of a hostel outreach program to assess outcomes and their relationship to program elements. Results at 18-month follow-up indicated that, despite chronic histories of transiency and shelter use, housing stability had been achieved, and that initial gains in social functioning and symptom reduction had been increased. Development of a strong working alliance proved a key program element in the findings.

摘要

一项纵向研究跟踪了一家旅社外展项目的55名无家可归且患有严重精神疾病的客户，以评估结果及其与项目要素的关系。18个月随访结果表明，尽管有长期的流浪和使用收容所的历史，但住房稳定性已经实现，并且社会功能和症状减轻方面的初步改善有所增加。研究结果证明，建立强大的工作联盟是该项目的一个关键要素。
