N2  - A hospitalized patient with depression and suicidal tendencies was referred for occupational therapy. The patient's evaluations while hospitalized indicated a lack of social skills and unrealistic expectations concerning abilities and aspirations. A work evaluation showed high scores in artistic and people-related occupations. Treatment focused on improvement of self-image, social interaction abilities, and stress management skills that would assist the patient in obtaining and keeping a job. Increased knowledge of vocational options and selection of an appropriate training program led to a job placement that the patient has enjoyed and maintained for the past 2 years.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
