[Occupational rehabilitation of psychiatrically handicapped patients--concomitant help in employment].

Presented are results from the project "Post-placement-services at the workplace for persons with mental illness and mental disability". Its goals and tasks have been to support mentally disabled clients in the process of occupational reintegration, to assist them in case of threatening dismissal, to mediate and clarify in case of problems at work. Over a period of two years, 208 clients participated in the project, most of them after discharge from in-patient psychiatric treatment. The description of the project's approach focusses on the industrial situation, setting out the possibilities and limitations of industrial rehabilitation.
