AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the effects of probationary work for 
      psychiatric patients in community-based small businesses during their inpatient 
      or day care. METHODS: Patients were evaluated for working capacity, 
      psychopathology, motivation for work and patient satisfaction (n = 69). RESULTS: 
      The results confirm a high degree of acceptance of this approach as well as 
      significant improvements on various clinical scales such as the Brief Psychiatric 
      Rating Scale (BPRS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Global Assessment 
      of Functioning Scale (GAF), choice reaction time (Wiener Determinationsgerat, 
      WDG), attention (Revisionstest) and self-rating of work-relevant skills. 
      CONCLUSIONS: This approach, with its complex demand characteristics, may be an 
      effective alternative to occupational therapy, at least for small therapeutic 
      units.
