title: [Work--its significance in the therapy and rehabilitation of chronic psychiatric patients].
abstract: More and more chronic mental patients live in the communities and are jobless. Most of them cannot be expected to become gainfully employed in the near future, but the aim of all efforts should always be a permanent working place or at least meaningful activity. Due to the multitude of institutions participating in rehabilitation work the only chance of maximum utilisation of available chances can be achieved only by a local rehabilitation team. The article discusses the available scientific data on evaluation, success prediction, environmental structuralization and organisation of psychiatric working area.
