Psychiatric rehabilitation technology: Operationalizing the "black box" of the psychiatric rehabilitation process. In P. W. Corrigan and D. F. Giffort (Eds.), Building teams and programs for effective psychiatric rehabilitation (pp. 79-87, New Directions for Mental Health Services, No. 79). San Francisco: Rehabilitation programs rely on interdisciplinary teams, and the teams that work well together provide better services to their clientele, improving the quality of life for people with severe mental illness. This volume outlines that educational and organizational strategies that will help staff come together in cohesive teams and create more effective rehabilitation programs. The authors provide detailed guidelines for staff training, presenting a systems approach that emphasizes competency identification, a research-based training program that develops team leadership skills, and a training model that highlights egalitarian roles and the importance of engaging consumers and families. Chapters also explore the relevance of total quality management to successful rehabilitation programs; demonstrate how technology can help practitioners more accurately document outcomes and act more forcefully on the consumer's behalf; and review the issues and benefits involved in the employment of consumers as providers. This is the 79th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Mental Health Services.
Barton, R. (1998) The Rehabilitation Recovery Paradigm: A Statement for a Public Mental Health System. Psychiatric Rehabilitation Skills, 2(2), 171-187. The purpose of this statement is to provide an overview of the rehabilitative-recovery philosophy of mental health services. It is an extension of an earlier document that the author was asked to prepare for discussion within the Illinois Office of Mental Health. The use of a recovery philosophy as a general guide for service planning and delivery necessitates a process of interpreting its meaning and exploring its concrete implications for a particular system of services, a process for which this article is only the first step. It is intended to address from common question regarding (a) the meaning of recovery, (b) the premises for adopting such a philosophy, (c) this philosophy’s relationship to various service models, and (d) its implications for policy and program development with examples drawn from the Illinois public mental health services system.

Chamberlin, J. (1998). Confessions of a non-compliant patient. Journal of Psychiatric Nursing, 36, 49-52. EXCERPT A famous comedian once said, "I've been rich, and I've been poor, and believe me, rich is better." Well, I've been a good patient, and I've been a bad patient, and believe me, being a good patient helps to get you out of the hospital, but being a bad patient helps to get you back to real life. Being a patient was the most devastating experience of my life. At a time when I was already fragile and vulnerable, being labeled and treated only confirmed to me I was worthless. It was clear my thoughts, feelings, and opinions counted for little. I was presumed not to be able to take care of myself or to make decisions in my own best interest, and to need mental health professionals running my life for me. For this total disregard of my wishes and feelings, I was expected to be appreciative and grateful. In fact, anything less was taken as a further symptom of my illness, as one more indication I truly needed more of the same.
McNamara, S., Nemec, P., Farkas, M. D. (1998). Distance learning at Boston University. Journal of Rehabilitation Administration, 19(4), 291-297. For the past 12 years, the Department of Rehabilitation Counseling at Boston University has been offering an off-campus graduate degree program in Rehabilitation Counseling with a Specialization in Psychiatric Rehabilitation. The program teaches students the skills of psychiatric rehabilitation during three sessions at Boston University. Skills are practiced back at the students’ jobs, anywhere from 150 to more than 3,000 miles away. Individualized feedback is provided for each assignment. Using both basic and creative technological resources for distance learning, the curriculum accommodates different learning styles and specialized interests. Implications are drawn for distance learning and for traditional rehabilitation-counseling education programs.
Nemec, P. B. and S. McNamara (1998). Do we need to meet our students face-to-face? Rehabilitation Education, 12(4), 361-365. Many rehabilitation educators are just beginning to consider the opportunities and challenges that a distance education curriculum presents. The authors share some of their observations and concerns about the potential changes, especially in the interactive relationship between teachers and their students, that distance education introduces.
