The aim of this study was to assess a number of the components of disability in patients diagnosed with DSM-IIIR residual schizophrenia. Forty-one patients undergoing hospital and community rehabilitation programs were tested. A range of disability levels was defined with a measure of global assessment of function. A large proportion of the patients also had poor results on frontal lobe testing, persistent positive symptoms, and high levels of emotional distress. There was a trend for higher levels of positive symptoms to be associated with increases in global levels of disability, frontal lobe impairment and emotional distress. The work suggests that rehabilitation programs could be more focused if patients were assessed not only for their overall level of functional disability but also for the level of treatment resistant positive symptoms, frontal lobe impairment and the amount and type of emotional distress and insight.

People of racial and ethnic minorities receive disparate treatment in state vocational rehabilitation agencies, yet little research exists to explore whether this is also true for their experiences in community rehabilitation programs (CRP's). Individuals of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity are the largest and fastest growing minority group in the nation, yet their employment rates are lower than for White non-Hispanic/Latinos. This article examines barriers to the participation of Hispanic/Latino individuals with disabilities in CRP's. It provides a historical framework to the problem, presents empirical findings from qualitative research, and concludes with Web-based resources for diversity training in CRP's, and recommendations for future research.

Iraqi society, like other societies, witnessed social, economic and political changes after 2003. These changes have increased social problems within the community. Terrorism is one of the main phenomena that spread at that time. Many terrorist organizations have emerged in Iraqi society, whose social fabric, political stability and economic activity are at risk. The most dangerous of these organizations appeared in 2014, when they controlled a third of the governorates of Iraq. They have destroyed many cities and practiced brutal and inhumane methods against members of Iraqi society, such as rape, detention, displacement, and the recruitment of children, youth and families. These methods have led to many problems, including the problem of families of those convicted of terrorism and their effects on the individual or society. Therefore, this research aims to give special importance to the rehabilitation of these families and their integration into society. It aims to define social rehabilitation programs for families of those convicted of terrorism and to understand the nature of these programs. It seeks to determine the reasons for joining terrorist organizations. It also highlights the social reality of families of those convicted of terrorism, in Anbar Governorate and Habbaniyah city in particular, In order to improve the living conditions of these families and achieve opportunities for social integration so that they can achieve social integration within the community. The study relied on the descriptive and analytical method and the method of a social survey by taking a sample of (250) families.
