[The work therapy workshop as part of a psychiatric service system--its contribution to the integration of medical, occupational and social rehabilitation].
The limitations faced by purely clinical facilities in providing comprehensive rehabilitation for long-term schizophrenic patients having been made increasingly clear by a changing labour market, the Department of Social Psychiatry's community mental health system had already in 1978 been extended to include a work therapy shop, i.e., a printing shop geared to general economic conditions. This effort of integrating various rehabilitative activities "under one roof" within the workshop while maintaining the continuity of medical treatment, is discussed by a synoptical presentation of findings from quantitative und qualitative analysis. It has been possible to show that a wide spectrum of graded rehabilitative activities can be implemented successfully in a well-defined, work life oriented setting. Given close linkages of the workshop with a structured, comprehensive care system, the advantages inherent in integrating medical, vocational, and psychosocial rehabilitation efforts obviously outweigh the disadvantages of insufficient specificity and diversification.
