title: [A vocational promoting course--initial experiences with a rehabilitation program for long-term psychiatric patients].
abstract: A new programme to rehabilitate long-term, psychiatric patients with non-manual professions is introduced. The results of a limited follow-up investigation of the first 40 participants and experiences in the practical work, are discussed. 85% of the participants live outside a psychiatric institution, 50% have regular employment again. The high number of those not living in an institution and still unemployed (35%) shows also that the number of available, suital be, simple or protected situations in offices, is low.
