title: [Tasks and possibilities of psychosocial rehabilitation of handicapped adolescents in a residential environment--an empirical study].
abstract: A questionnaire investigation had been carried out, in mid-1983, of 12 school-leaving grades (1971 through 1982) of Haus Rheinfrieden, in Bad Honnef-Rhöndorf, a residential vocational training college which serves young people with physical disablement or seizure disorders. The central focus had been the question whether, besides its occupational training role, a general, educational function is due to the school, and how this issue is perceived by its former students. The respondents were to state their subjective opinions of how they rated their stay as regards school-related and personal matters. The results obtained show surprisingly positive subjective views held by the ex-students of how they had experienced the educational and personal services provided, and the institution as a whole. The initially described assumption that, along with training-related aspects, personality-related ones would equally become relevant while attending this special facility, was confirmed from the ex-students' perspective. The inter-disciplinary concept of promoting both vocational and personal development, as the goal of this institution, meets with clear approval on the part of its former students.
