Abstract:
Attitudes towards the work behaviour of ex-mental patients were examined in a random sample of 480 senior federal civil servants in Nigeria. The results revealed: pervasive negative attitudes towards ex-mental patients and their work behaviour; inadequate provision for the needs of ex-mental patients by government; lack of awareness of and/or non-existence of welfare policies for rehabilitating ex-mental patients; and a need for a social welfare policy to cater for ex-mental patients in the workplace.
