Abstract

Since psychiatric vocational rehabilitation was newly incorporated into the field of mental health, its continual growth has been in the hands of mental health workers. However, transition from medical to rehabilitative approaches is not smoothly progressing because most of mental health professionals have devoted themselves only to treatment activities based on medical model. The resultant problems includes the disproportion of psychosocial services to vocational services, demoralization of professionals, and attitudinal differences among mental health workers. Attitudinal differences among team members can have detrimental effects for the vocational success of persons with psychiatric disability, given that team approach is essential in psychiatric vocational rehabilitation. In this context, the authors attempted to determine whether attitudinal differences were present among mental health workers towards the job characteristics of persons with psychiatric disability. The results indicated that their attitudes toward job demand and crisis-relief accommodation varied significantly with professional affiliation but no attitudinal difference in person-to-person supports and consistency of job condition occurred as a function of professional affiliation. Particularly, the consistent pattern of findings over the iterms of job demand was that clinical psychologists and psychiatrists tended to hold more conservative attitudes towards the working of persons with psychiatric disability than mental health nurses and social workers, but attitudes among clinical psychologists and psychiatrists or among mental health nurses and social worker, were almost identical. These findings empirically supported previous reports that strongly treatment-oriented mental health workers tend to be overprotective towards persons with psychiatric disability. Implications, limitations, and considerations for future study were discussed.
