“…Baron & Salzer (2000) described the discouragement felt by individuals in service-industry positions at or near minimum wage. Medical models of mental disorder may also delimit vocational growth as they tend to place emphasis on stress aversion as a way to protect against relapse and view work as a stress generator (Marrone, Gandolfo, Gold, & Hoff, 1998;Rutman, 1994).…”

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.

“…This would certainly help participants in this kind of programme advance to higher levels of educational and/or training opportunities. Furthermore, it is important for both the clients and therapists to adopt an attitude that clients may need to try several jobs before they find one they like and one that gives them a good career prospect and/or helps maintain their wellness (Baron and Salzer, 2000).…”

Despite modern treatments, bipolar disorder remains a chronic, relapsing disorder that leads to long-term psychosocial disability. A review of the literature suggests that while employment rates amongst individuals with bipolar disorder may improve over time, and are relatively better compared to some other chronic mental disorders, employment prospects do not match the high scholastic achievements seen amongst this group of people before the onset of their illness. For those with bipolar disorder, clinical recovery does not necessarily mean functional recovery, and the usual early age of onset may further reduce an individual's preparedness for employment. Two brief vignettes are used to discuss how occupational therapists can help their clients maintain their sense of hope in vocational recovery, gain better self-awareness and work with clients at various stages of recovery rather than waiting for full functional recovery. Further research is required to help identify specific factors that contribute to the success of employment integration amongst people with bipolar disorder.

“…Assistance in educational pursuits (Carlson, Eichler, Huff, & Rapp, 2003) and attention to career development (Baron & Salzer, 2000) reflect two emphases that have been widely discussed as elements that should be routinely incorporated as clearly defined functions of supported employment programs. Vocational and educational goals often go hand-inhand, so it makes sense that supported employment and supported education are integrated into single programs.…”
