“…Past behaviour is a good predictor of similar behaviour in the future. Previous work record is therefore likely to predict employment after a rehabilitation programme (Cole et al 1964;Strauss & Carpenter, 1974). Cole and his colleagues (1964) found that recent work record before admission was a significant predictor of return to work after discharge but a history of job-changing proved to be a better predictor.…”

SynopsisSeveral indices of occupational stability are discussed and the importance of controlling for age in assessing occupational stability emphasized. The ability of 6 indices to predict the stable resettlement of psychiatric patients at work after a course of rehabilitation was examined. Though mean job length was a significant predictor, indices based on change of occupation rather than change of job were more successful. Stable resettlement at work was related to how much time people had spent in long jobs but not to how little time they had spent in short jobs. The amount of unemployment during the 2 years before hospital admission predicted return to work immediately after discharge, but did not predict stable resettlement at work.

Twenty-five of 76 patients suffering from chronic schizophrenia, treated in a rehabilitation centre, were found to have tardive dyskinesia (TD) according to the Tardive Dyskinesia Research Diagnostic Criteria (Schooler and Kane, 1982).Patients suffering from T D achieved significantly higher total scores on two subscales (affective flattening and blunting and avolition-apathy, respectively) of the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms. On the other hand, positive symptoms assessed by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale did not distinguish the two groups. Our findings support the idea that patients suffering predominantly from negative symptoms of schizophrenia may have a higher vulnerability for the development of T D than schizophrenic patients showing mainly positive symptoms.
