“…The largest distinctive client group of social rehabilitation efforts is patients with a clear medical diagnosis or an impairment, which, by extension, affects their social life. This group includes people with neurological problems (e.g., traumatic brain injury; Tate et al, 2003;Ylvisaker & Feeney, 2000), neurological patients (Portillo & Cowley, 2011), psychiatric patients with mental illness (Koichi et al, 2009;Lucca & Allen, 2001;Myers, 1980;Semba et al, 1993;Weisman, 1985), and people with disabilities (Hanga et al, 2015(Hanga et al, , 2017Kolo, 1996). Hanga et al (2015, p.32) also use the expression people with "reduced work capacity", which can refer to either a medical diagnosis or some other cause such as emotional problems.…”

“…Social rehabilitation efforts can be roughly divided into three systems. On one end of the continuum, there are residential social rehabilitation facilities, for example, for the mentally ill (Lucca & Allen, 2001), acutely disturbed patients (Weisman, 1985), adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems (Savard et al, 2013), or trafficked women with a background in sex work (Aborisade & Aderinto, 2008a, 2008b. These vary in nature from total institutions to home-like facilities with a daily program.…”

“…Moreover, sometimes, talking about social rehabilitation may eventually serve other ends than the needs of the rehabilitee. Namely, social rehabilitation programs, regardless of their content, might be a way to achieve respect and a good reputation in the field of international politics (see Aborisade & Aderinto, 2008a) or a way to justify economic decisions (e.g., Ryburn et al, 2009;Weisman, 1985;Ylvisaker & Feeney, 2000). Therefore, evaluating different programs and practices requires critical and contextual reflection.…”

“…Focus on the individual and change in an individual's behavior is highlighted especially in an institutional context. The goal of social rehabilitation is to consolidate change "in inmates' habits, attitudes and values" (Muro et al, 2016, p. 714, see also Weisman, 1985). Also, Becker-Pestka (2017) mentions convicts' attitudinal change as an expected outcome of a social rehabilitation program.…”

Summary Social rehabilitation is conceived to encompass services that concentrate specifically on the social aspect of the rehabilitation process. This interpretive qualitative meta-synthesis of 25 social scientific research papers published between 1980 and 2019 dealing with the concept of social rehabilitation aims to unpack the different dimensions of the social within social rehabilitation in different contexts. Findings In most of the articles, the causes for social rehabilitation are located in the rehabilitee’s social environment, community, or structure, and for the rehabilitation to be successful, a change is expected to take place also in these parties. Moreover, personally significant values and wishes are emphasized in many approaches viewing the rehabilitee as an agent in his/her own rehabilitation process. In a few articles, however, the individual is viewed as aberrant, and his/her conforming to societal norms is seen as forming the core of social rehabilitation. In this approach, the individual is viewed as the object of rehabilitation without much control over his/her own rehabilitation process. Applications The results of our study suggest that, to improve existing social rehabilitation practices, more effort should be put into acknowledging and considering the rehabilitee’s autonomy as a relational concept. Also, the needs for, foci, and aims of social rehabilitation should not be reduced to a certain kind of practice directed to certain kinds of client groups, but, rather, social rehabilitation should be understood as an entity consisting of interrelated and interdependent components forming a constantly shifting assemblage.
