[Fitness assessment and work therapy in a Phase II facility--a case example]

A case example is used to set out the practice of vocational assessment and work adjustment in a medical-vocational, i.e. Phase II, facility. Formulated jointly by the rehabilitation team, the basic therapy objectives, by constant liaison with the employer, are differentiated in view of the future place of work and the performance required from the patient. The individual case serves to illustrate the effectiveness of this therapy approach intended to smoothen the transition from inpatient treatment to vocational reintegration.
