Balinsky, Benjamin
- Abstract
The article discusses the factors related to the vocational adjustment of schizophrenics after they are discharged from mental hospitals. The results of this study indicated that the favorable signs for vocational adjustment are positive attitude toward status in society, high drive, emotional expressiveness, as well as generally small discrepancies between vocabulary and dexterity and spatial test scores and no indication of depressed motility. In this study, the good vocational adjustment cases responded readily in the counseling process and were able to decide upon and follow through on a suitable vocational goal.
