title: [Characteristics of the Hessian "RPK Model" for the rehabilitation of the mentally ill and handicapped from a social-medical viewpoint].
abstract: The Hessian RPK model (RPK = rehabilitation facility for persons with mental illness) is characterized by a number of social-integrative features that might provide impulses for further rehabilitative models. Due to industrial linkages, gradual adjustment to competitive working conditions is possible. The person with mental illness experiences purposive rehabilitative services to adjust to normal conditions, which can be an important reference for him toward attaining normalization as well as integration. Also, the rural and extraterritorial environment, by reducing exposure to stimuli, can contribute to stabilization.
