abstract: 'Purpose of review

  This review examines the 2002 literature on vocational services for

  people with psychiatric disabilities.

  Recent findings

  Vocational rehabilitation has emerged as a mainstream intervention in

  community mental health, and supported employment has become an

  evidence-based practice. In addition to clarifying and confirming the

  effectiveness and principles of supported employment, the literature

  describes clients'' needs, innovative modifications of supported

  employment for special groups, the subjective experiences and

  non-vocational outcomes of clients related to employment, impacts of the

  Americans with Disabilities Act, costs of vocational services, cultural

  disparities, and the development of vocational services in other

  countries.

  Summary

  Increasing demands for employment services and for empirical outcomes

  influence clinical practice. Supported employment has by far the

  strongest evidence base of any vocational intervention for people with

  psychiatric disabilities and continues to be disseminated rapidly.

  Further research is needed to clarify the principles, impacts, and

  modifications of supported employment.'
