| Abstract |

Capacity of people with psychiatric disabilities to work; Relation between un- or underemployment and occurrence of psychological problems; Importance of rapid job entry for occupational success; Role of work as a training opportunity for social skill development. |
| Notes | accommodation"In fact, the change from the role of patient or client to a new role as worker in society is fragile at best. The journey to employment requires a more sensitive approach from all involved individuals (the worker, the professionals, family, and friends) to the extent that everyone can successfully leverage the potential and ability of the worker with an appreciation of the limitations that are part of the illness." office friendships"The support needed and provided by co-workers can elevate the employment experience from one of familiar isolation to one of relatedness and comfort. Individuals come to work because of the people with whom they work, not just for the job that needs to be done." |
