Purpose: In this article, we seek to determine whether psychiatric rehabilitation principles and practices have been more fully incorporated into the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) standards, the extent to which they are covered in four rehabilitation counseling “foundations” textbooks, and how they are reflected in the contents of three key journals in rehabilitation counseling.Methods: We conducted a detailed review of literature that has surveyed coordinators of graduate programs accredited by the CORE as well as research that investigates the preparedness of graduates of CORE-accredited rehabilitation counseling programs to deliver services to people with psychiatric disabilities.Results: This review found that psychiatric rehabilitation is only touched upon in the CORE standards, is modestly alluded to in the most commonly used foundational textbooks, and has very few articles about it published annually in rehabilitation journals.Conclusion: Recommendations on methods for increasing psychiatric rehabilitation content in CORE-accredited programs are provided. Specific suggestions are made for resources and activities that can be added to rehabilitation counseling curricula to include psychiatric rehabilitation.

The number and level of psychiatric counseling training programs in 47 CORE-accredited programs across the country was examined in this study. Approximately 85% of the programs surveyed thought that graduates should provide information to consumers about the psychiatric rehabilitation process. With respect to an introductory course in psychiatric rehabilitation, sample results indicated that 40% programs offered a course, 36% offered related partial course content, and 19% offered no course or content at all. Results of studies indicate a need for more psychiatric counseling content. Suggestions are given to enable the inclusion of psychiatric rehabilitation content into existing rehabilitation counseling programs.

A series of developmental experiential learning activities designed to give students increasingly more experience working with individuals with psychiatric disabilities is described. The benefits of including these types of activities within a psychiatric rehabilitation specialization in a rehabilitation counseling master's degree program are discussed. Activities that increase students' sensitivity to, experience with, and efficacy working with individuals with long-term mental illnesses can easily be included in other rehabilitation counseling education programs.

An examination of differences in perceptions of self-efficacy between students in CORE-accredited rehabilitation counseling programs and students in CACREP -accredited clinical mental health counseling programs enrolled in practicum/internship classes is absent in the literature. Results indicated there was not a significant difference (p = .05) between the total self-efficacy scores between both treatment groups (CORE and CACREP). Further, there was not a significant difference between helping skills, session management, and counseling challenging situations scores for both treatment groups (CORE and CACREP). Predictors of self-efficacy for CACREP participants consisted of prior work experience in a field other than helping. Predictors of self-efficacy for CORE participants were gender.

Community-based day centers in Sweden are well-established arenas for psychiatric rehabilitation. Little is, however, known of the attendees’ perception of the quality of the service provided. Therefore, the aim of the study was to describe and investigate the quality of community-based day center services for people with psychiatric disabilities. A sample of 218 attendees (44% females) between 18 and 71 years old in 14 community-based day center services in Sweden completed the quality in psychiatric care–daily activities (QPC-DA) instrument. The results showed that people with psychiatric disabilities perceived the quality of community-based day center services as high and 87% perceived the overall quality as satisfactory. The highest ratings were found in encounter followed by support, daily activity-specific, secure environment, participation, and the lowest quality was found in secluded environment dimensions of the QPC-DA. Most notably, quality of service was rated higher by those with lower educational level, had waited shorter time to attend the center, and had better mental and physical health. However, particularly aspects of a secluded environment and participation (information) may be areas with potential for improvement. In conclusion, the results adhere to the importance of occupational balance, with periods of rest/privacy during the time at the center.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

This paper offers an overview of the psychiatric vocational rehabilitation system using brief descriptions of Canadian program models to describe employment preparation services and vocational programs. The psychiatric rehabilitation literature clearly demonstrates that persons with psychiatric disabilities are potentially employable if they are provided with appropriate services, employment programs, and support. Although vocational programs are proliferating in all provinces across Canada, there are strong indications that more programming and funding is urgently needed.
