Book Synopsis Work Accommodation and Retention in Mental Health by : Izabela Z. Schultz
Download or read book Work Accommodation and Retention in Mental Health written by Izabela Z. Schultz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing interest in the field of mental health in the workplace among policy makers, clinicians, and researchers alike has been fueled by equal employment rights legislation and increasing disability statistics in mental heath. The importance of addressing this topic is underscored by the fact that depression now ranks second on the hierarchy of occupational disabilities. The problem is compounded by a host of factors, including major difficulties in job retention and productivity experienced by persons with mental health disabilities; younger age and higher education of persons with mental health problems; and labor shortages and an aging workforce in many industrialized countries. In addition, particularly in the United States, the vocational needs of army veterans returning from duty with mental health disorders require system-based solutions and new rehabilitation approaches. The pressure created by these powerful legislative, societal, and economic forces has not been matched by the state of evidence-based practices in the field of employment retention and job accommodation in mental health. Current research evidence is fragmented, limited in scope, difficult to access, and adversely affected by the traditional divide between the fields of psychiatry and psychology on one hand and interdisciplinary employment research and practices on the other. As a result, policy makers, employers, disability compensation systems, and rehabilitation and disability management professionals have been left without a critical "how to" evidence-informed toolbox for occupational practices to accommodate and retain persons with mental health disabilities in the workplace. Currently, no single source of knowledge and research evidence exists in the field that would guide best practices. Yet the need for workplace accommodations for persons with mental health disabilities has been growing and, based on epidemiological trends, is anticipated to grow even more in the future. These trends leave physicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, vocational rehabilitation professionals, disability managers, human resource professionals, and policy makers poorly prepared to face the challenge of integrating and maintaining persons with mental health disabilities in the workplace. The aim of the Handbook is to close the gap between the needs of the professionals and networks that work with or study persons with mental heath disorders in an employment context and the actual knowledge base in the field. The Handbook will be written in language that can easily be understood by readers representing a multitude of disciplines and research paradigms spanning the mental health, rehabilitation, and employment fields of inquiry. The Handbook will contribute an integration of the best quantitative and qualitative research in the field, together with experts’ consensus, regarding effective work retention and accommodation strategies and practices in mental health. The book will consist of five major sections, divided into chapters written by recognized experts in these areas.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Vocational Rehabilitation and Disability Evaluation by : Reuben Escorpizo
Download or read book Handbook of Vocational Rehabilitation and Disability Evaluation written by Reuben Escorpizo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the state of the art in the application and implementation of the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in the areas of vocational rehabilitation as a primary topic and disability evaluation as a secondary topic. Application of the ICF and implementation strategies toward a holistic and comprehensive approach to work disability and vocational rehabilitation programs are presented along with clinical cases and exercises. The ICF as a topic in health and disability has been gaining momentum since its approval by the World Health Assembly in 2001, and great progress has been made since then. However, the integration if the ICF in the realm of vocational rehabilitation has been lacking despite the fact that work and employment are a major area in people's lives, particularly those who have work disability. This book will advance the professional practice of vocational rehabilitation, rehabilitation counseling, occupational medicine, and allied health science.
Book Synopsis The Impact of the Working Alliance on Vocational Outcomes for People with Severe Mental Illness Enrolled in Employment Programs by : Marina E. Kukla
Download or read book The Impact of the Working Alliance on Vocational Outcomes for People with Severe Mental Illness Enrolled in Employment Programs written by Marina E. Kukla and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was a subset of a large two-year randomized controlled trial of two employment programs providing services to people with severe mental illness (SMI). Because prior research has found that the strength of the relationship, or working alliance, between service providers and people with SMI is related to a variety of beneficial outcomes, the purpose of the current study was to address the working alliance between participants and their vocational workers and its association with employment outcomes, including the total duration of paid employment over two years and mean paid job tenure after two years. Another primary purpose of the current study was to determine whether working alliance differences exist between a team vocational approach (Diversified Placement Approach) and an individual vocational approach (Individual Placement and Support Model). The final aim of the current study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the ad hoc scale utilized to measure the working alliance. Contrary to expectations, no relationship was found between the working alliance and employment outcomes after two years. As expected, it was found that participants in the individual vocational approach (IPS) had higher working alliance scores across the study than participants in the team vocational program (DPA). Finally, the working alliance measure used in this study was found to have promising psychometric properties, including adequate criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability, although the internal consistency was a bit low. The scale items are a loose fit with existing theory, however, necessitating the addition of items and revision of the current scale and underlying theory to enhance its utility in clinical and research settings.

Book Synopsis Vocational Rehabilitation by : Gordon Waddell
Download or read book Vocational Rehabilitation written by Gordon Waddell and published by . This book was released on 2008-07-17 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this review was to provide an evidence base for policy development on vocational rehabilitation - defined as whatever helps someone with a health problem to stay at, return to and remain at work. The focus was on adults of working age, the common health problems that account for two-thirds of long-term sickness (mild/moderate musculoskeletal, mental health and cardio-respiratory conditions) and work outcomes (staying at, returning to and remaining in work). Data from some 450 scientific reviews and reports were included in evidence tables. The review demonstrates that there is a strong scientific evidence base for many aspects of vocational rehabilitation, a good business case for it and more evidence on cost-benefits than for many health and social policy areas. Generic and condition-specific findings are reported, and practical suggestions offered for the differing types of people affected by health problems. Vocational rehabilitation should be a fundamental element of government strategy to improve the health of working age people.
Book Synopsis Vocational Psychology: Its Problems and Methods by : Leta Stetter Hollingworth
Download or read book Vocational Psychology: Its Problems and Methods written by Leta Stetter Hollingworth and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has developed from the material presented in a course on "Psychological Tests in Vocational Guidance and Selection" which the writer was invited to conduct in Teachers' College, Columbia University. The widespread interest in vocational psychology which has grown up in recent years, the eagerness with which even the most superficial and absurd systems of "character analysis" are being adopted and tried out, and especially the lack of references, offering conservative evaluation, to which inquirers may be directed, have made it seem advisable to publish the material in systematic form. The book is essentially a presentation of the problems and methods of that branch of applied psychology which deals with individual differences in mental constitution. In the present instance only those differences are considered which may seem to be significant in determining the individual's choice of a vocation, or in influencing the selection of workers from among a group of applicants or candidates. It is the writer's hope that the book may be suggestive to the individual who seeks to know himself better, helpful to the student and parent who may desire to avoid the wiles of the charlatan, encouraging to the investigator or counselor who is engaged in carrying forward the solution of vocational problems, and useful to the practical man who may be mainly interested in surrounding himself with competent associates and employees.

This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Psychology - Cognition, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Mental illness is a term that varies in its breadth and depth but is associated with an emotional or behavioral disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Approximately one in four people in the general population are affected by mental illness at some point in their lives (Kessler, Merikangas & Wang, 2008; World Health Organization (2001). Naturally, mental illness is associated with functional impairments that interrupt life activities (New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, 2003). Specifically, severe mental illness often impairs one's capacity to choose, obtain and keep a job and to earn a living (Tsang, Lam, Ng & Leung, 2000). Furthermore, WHO (2007) viewed the complementary condition of mental health as a state of well-being that allows someone to work. It is recognized that there are critical barriers to employment for people with mental illness (Lysaker, Davis, Bryson & Bell, 2009). These include difficulties with interpersonal relationships and with the completion of tasks at work. There are concomitant issues in coping with stigma and work stress as well as low levels of self-efficacy or self-defeating beliefs (Marwaha & Johnson, 2004).
