    Abstract

    Eighty-nine subjects were recruited from inpatient and community psychiatric treatment programs in the Los Angeles area to participate in the Brentwood Job Finding Club. They were trained in job-seeking skills and were given logistical support during their job search. Thirty-six percent either obtained a job or entered a job training program. Persons with good work histories, good job interviewing skills, and nonpsychotic diagnoses were more likely to find employment. Persons with psychotic diagnoses and poor work histories and those receiving Supplemental Security Income were the least successful.
