[Rehabilitation training with chronic mental patients (author's transl)].
In a half-way house a behaviorally oriented rehabilitation training with chronic schicophrenics, hospitalized more than 12 years averagely, was conducted and evaluated. With interviews it was systematically investigated with what kind of difficult situations a patient is confronted at discharge and which behavioral competencies are therefore especially needed. Behavior therapy with the main components of instruction, behavior rehearsal and social reinforcement changed the behavior of the patients significantly. A general plan for diagnosis and training of competencies is developed that can be applied to structure the training of the staff in educational-therapeutic behavior as well as the training of the patients themselves.
