Vocational Evaluation and Schizophrenia: A Critique of Rybak's Five Stage Model
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 August 2015
Abstract
The ability to secure and maintain gainful employment for people who have a mental disorder (such as schizophrenia) is limited and often complicated by personal, environmental and social barriers. The administration of inappropriate vocational evaluation tools for people who experience schizophrenia, has been identified as further contributing to this dilemma (Rybak, 1998). In an attempt to address this issue, Rybak (1998) developed a five-stage model for promoting successful vocational outcomes for people who experience schizophrenia. The purpose of this article is to review Rybak's model in terms of its appropriateness for this population. As a result of several shortcomings in Rybak's approach there is a need to develop an alternative vocational evaluation approach that is responsive to the characteristics unique to these individuals.
