title: [The favorable effect of group housing on the occupational performance of psychiatrically handicapped patients].
abstract: A cohort of psychiatrically disabled persons was investigated to determine whether work performance changed after entry into a residential commune. Both before and after entering the commune, a differentiated spectrum of work opportunities graded according to performance requirements had been available. A clear enhancement of work performance was found following entry into the residential commune. In a further step, variables associated with above- or below-average increases in work performance were identified. On the whole, the results underscore the value of residential communes in the vocational rehabilitation of psychiatrically disabled persons.
