Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Maryland Program for Vocational Effectiveness

psychosocial intervention that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with work-related social skills training and basic problem solving training (SST)

OTHER

Supportive Treatment for SMI

Sessions are interactive, supportive, flexible, and unstructured, and are intended to help patients adjust to their new jobs and understand how working affects their lives. The therapist stance is non-directive, and there is an emphasis on having patients share with one another, rather than having the therapists dictate the content of group sessions. The primary goals of the therapists are to engage patients in treatment and to generate discussion among members.
