The clubhouse model as exemplar. Merging psychiatric nursing and psychosocial rehabilitation.
1. Psychiatric nurses have much to learn from and offer to the field of psychosocial rehabilitation and the psychiatric rehabilitation approach. 2. Psychiatric rehabilitation hopes to increase the functioning of persons with psychiatric disabilities so they can be successful in their environments with the least amount of ongoing professional intervention. 3. The hope of recovery, and of living, working, and loving in a community, is a significant advance from previous notions of how to care for persons with mental illness.
