“…Wilson et al, (1969) found more neurotics than psychotics to be employed at follow-up. While this neurotic/psychotic comparison might be expected to hold in other studies, neither Sturm and Lipton (1967) nor Watts and Bennett (1977) uncovered a relationship between the psychotic/nonpsychotic classification and employment.…”

“…Because no consistent relationship was found between psychiatric symptoms and vocational performance, it would seem that there would also be no relationship between diagnosis and future vocational performance. A number of studies have confirmed the absence of such a relationship (Distefano & Pryer, 1970;Douzinas & Carpenter, 1981;Ethridge, 1968;Goss & Pate, 1967;Hall, Smith, &Skimkunas, 1966;Lorei, 1967;Moller etal., 1982;Sturm & Lipton, 1967;Watts & Bennett, 1977).…”

“…The question of whether a relationship exists between diagnosis and future work performance is equally puzzling. Anthony and Jansen (1984) cited a num ber of studies demonstrating the ab sence of such a relationship (Moller et al, 1982;Sturm & Lipton, 1967;Watts & Bennett, 1977), in their review of pre dictors of vocational capacity. However, recent reviews present variable and con flicting results.…”

Research on work fo r people with psychiatric disabilities has typically examined the relationship of clinical variables to employment, and few conclusions have been reached. This study shifts the focus of in quiry to include environmental as well as individual variables. An analysis was carried out on the relationship of four variables to employment: em powerment, social support, organizational culture/climate and person/envi ronmentfit. Thirty-six consumers (N = 36) were recruited into one of two groups: (1) consumers who were employed in integrated settings ( n -17) and (2) consumers who had recently left their jobs (n = 19).

“…Research workers have, therefore, been particularly interested in the effect of psychiatric disorders on work and return to work (e.g. Watts & Bennett, 1977). There have been a few reports of the adverse effects of unemployment on male mental health (Kasl et al 1975;Catalano & Dooley, 1977).…”

SYNOPSISA two-stage psychiatric survey of a random sample of adults aged 18–64 from Camberwell is described. Agency interviewers carried out the first stage (N = 800), using the shorter form of the Present State Examination (PSE). MRC interviewers, using the full PSE, saw a stratified sample of these (N = 310) in the second stage. A second interview was sought with all those of Index of Definition (ID) level 5 and above at the first interview (‘cases’) and with a random sample of those below that level. 20·9% refused or were never available for the first interview. Of the 800 subjects successfully interviewed, 10% refused a further interview and 12·4% of those finally selected for this interview were either unavailable or changed their minds. The MRC data, weighted to represent the whole sample, are used in our analyses. The prevalence of psychiatric disorder as defined in our study was calculated at 6·1% for men and 14·9% for women. Women shared a higher prevalence of disorder in the age-groups 25–34 and 45–54, but in men there was no significant association with age.In contrast to the findings of Brown & Harris (1978), social class did not have a strong association with disorder. Single men had much higher rates than married men, while the reverse was true in women. In both sexes employment was associated with lower rates of disorder. An attempt to explain the high prevalence in women in terms of their role in marriage and child-care was only partly successful.
