| Abstract | In recent years, increasing attention has been paid in Hong Kong to the development of rehabilitation services for people with psychiatric disabilities. The most persistent challenge facing rehabilitation workers is relapse. As a result, one of the most pressing needs at this stage in the development of rehabilitation services is the formulation and implementation of structured rehabilitation programmes. These programmes are good predictors of reduced re-institutionalisation and community integration and can facilitate adaptation to stress. Some of the difficulties inherent in developing and implementing such programmes are discussed. The need to continually evaluate the effectiveness of these programmes is underlined. |
