“…Subsequently, this department has developed a Bachelor of Science program consisting of a dual major in psychiatric rehabilitation and psychology (Holland & Boyd-Jackson, 2002). Casper (2001) found that, when compared to staff with other educational backgrounds, individuals who receive PsyR education express more positive beliefs and stronger adherence with positive attitudes and goals about PsyR services and people in recovery. He studied over 400 staff in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, 40 of who had attended formal educational or training programs in PsyR from three universities.…”

This brief report assesses the impact of graduate degree program in Psychiatric Rehabilitation (PsyR) on the careers of its students and graduates. Thirty-seven (37) students and recent graduates enrolled in a PsyR Master of Science (M.S.) degree program participated in a survey regarding their demographic data, years of experience in PsyR, work history, and salary. The overwhelming majority of students (86%) were currently employed in PsyR. About half of the employed students were in direct service positions. Other employed students worked in leadership roles as supervisors, managers, and educators. The number of credits attained in the M.S. was positively correlated with both salary and the number of promotions received. Also, length of work experience in PsyR was positively correlated with grade

“…The RPRP and CPRP programs both give an eligibility advantage to individuals with related mental health degrees. As discussed above, studies suggest that PsyR specific degrees are related to indicators of PsyR competence (Gill et al, 1997;Casper, 2001). A small number of CPRP applicants have PsyR degrees and a much larger number have related degrees from other mental health disciplines.…”

This article examines the factors associated with successful attainment of the Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) credential. A brief overview of the development of the examination and its content validity is provided. Level and type of education, psychiatric rehabilitation experience, and letters of recommendations were examined. The first 1,054 applicants for this test-based credential were included in the study. Level of education and mental health-related education were found to be positively correlated with test score and the prediction of who passes the examination. Objectively scored letters of reference contributed a small, but significant percentage of the explained variance. Surprisingly, years of PsyR experience were not correlated with test outcomes. The findings highlight the importance of relevant educational experience for the certification of PsyR staff. Implications for test validity and the preparation of CPRPs are discussed.

“…The CPRP examination is a psychometrically sound instrument developed by a professional testing corporation with assistance from recognized PsyR experts (IAPSRS, 2001). Another very important development has been the advent of undergraduate and graduate level academic programs offering course work in PsyR (Casper, 2001;Farkas & Furlong-Norman, 1995;Gill, Pratt, & Barrett, 1997;McReynolds, Garske, & Turpin, 1999;Nemec & Pratt, 2001).…”

“…Historically, many practitioners who provide community-based rehabilitation services have had little or no relevant postsecondary education that prepares them to meet the needs of people with psychiatric disabilities. Agencies often rely on conferences and in-service training programs to fill this gap, but these approaches often fall short of developing real expertise (Casper, 2001;Farkas & Anthony, 2001;Gill et al, 1997;Hoge, 2002).…”

“…Some of the programs that infuse psychiatric rehabilitation principles, values and interventions into the curricula of related academic disciplines have documented their efforts in the literature (Fabian & Coppola, 2001;Nemec & Pratt, 2001;Rollins & Bond, 2001;Sands & Solomon, 2001). It is important to recognize that while the Farkas and Furlong-Norman report (1995) identified a number of model academic programs, most degree programs that prepare behavioral healthcare professionals include little or no content on PsyR practices (Casper, 2001;Hoge, 2002).…”
