“…These elements common to group therapy (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) may have been synergistic with specific CBTw components to provide hope that achieving employment goals in spite of barriers is possible and perhaps likely, reinforce the use of the key cognitive and behavioral strategies to promote healthy thinking and adaptive coping, motivate action toward work goals, and further bolster efficacy beliefs. These findings fit with Bandura's social cognitive model outlining an interactive model of self-efficacy beliefs, outcomes expectancies, and motivation toward a task (Bandura, 1986), as well as more specific models of career success in persons with mental illness that emphasize the importance of interaction with peers have experienced work successes and model key skills and abilities necessary for effective work functioning (Fabian, 2000). In addition, despite heterogeneity across participants with regard to a range of background characteristics, including varying mental health disorders, these findings suggest that the goal of work was strong and unifying, allowing participants to relate to one another in meaningful ways.…”

New research suggests that group-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may help improve employment outcomes in persons with mental illness, yet the effects and potential key elements facilitating change in such interventions are unclear. Utilizing a mixed methods approach, this study examined the perspectives of persons with mental illness after participating in a pilot study of the "CBT for Work Success" intervention. Findings demonstrate that participants valued the intervention and perceived that it assisted them in achieving work goals. Therapeutic effects included improved self-efficacy, work motivation, enhanced sense of self as workers, and increased beliefs that work success is attainable. CBTw elements perceived to be important in facilitating work goals included cognitive restructuring, behavioral coping strategies, problem solving work barriers, meaningful reflection on oneself as a worker, and important factors associated with the group process. The authors discuss the implications of these findings and future research directions.

“…With very few exceptions (Fabian, 2000), we have abandoned thinking about competitive work for young adults with schizophrenia as part of a ''normal'' career development pattern. Baron & Salzer (2000) described the discouragement felt by individuals in service-industry positions at or near minimum wage.…”

Adults with schizophrenia continue to have poor rates of competitive employment. We have learned how to support individuals in the workplace with supported employment (SE); but have paid limited attention to early vocational identity development, work antecedents, illness characteristics, and career preferences. Vocational identity development is an important and natural condition of human growth for all persons and is well-researched in career counseling. For young adults with schizophrenia, the predictor of positive work outcome with the most evidence has been that working competitively prior to illness leads to better chances for work post-diagnosis. A heuristic framework is proposed to conceptualize how pre-illness vocational development (paid and unpaid) plus life cycle supports can provide direction to the individual in their work recovery.

“…According to the social cognitive career theory (Fabian, 2000;Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994) vocational interest precedes career activity and is influenced by self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977) and outcome expectations. This is relevant because the strength of belief in one's capacity to be successfully employed is also likely to influence current interest in employment.…”

There are divergent findings about the level of employment interest among community residents with schizophrenia. In addition, little is known about interest in other socially valued roles, such as formal education and training, self-development, living independently, and other forms of rehabilitation. Interest in employment is important as an indicator of demand for effective supported employment services. Data for this analysis were provided by a large and well-defined community sample of 255 persons with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Role functioning was investigated with the Socially-Valued Role Classification Scale. Interest in employment was high, with 85% of the participants being either employed or interested in employment as a future goal. In addition, 95% of participants were either performing, or interested in performing, two other socially valued roles (education and training or rehabilitation). This is more encouraging than some previous studies suggest and indicates that 95% of all community residents with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder are candidates for effective rehabilitation programs. Further research is needed to understand the importance of interest in socially valued roles and how appropriate assistance can develop both interest and lack of interest into motivation and action within each role domain.
