[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 690661, member: 18958"] This I lifted from a site called madinamerica. I think it was .com In two, five-year, follow-up studies of Open Dialogue (Seikkula et al.,, 2006), 80% of those who had acute psychosis for the first time in their lives reportedly experienced functional recovery. That is, after five years, they were working, studying, or looking for a job and not on government disability. Roughly 80% were also asymptomatic and not taking medication, though over a third had been exposed to antipsychotic drugs during their treatments. In an earlier study, in 2002, the Finnish team looked at what happened with the subgroup of these people who were diagnosed with schizophrenia (Seikkula et al., 2003). While this group had somewhat more medication than those with the milder diagnosis of psychosis, 70% of them returned to full employment after two years. The strong employment outcomes, which might seem improbable to us outside Finland, make sense if you know the local context. Based on their ecological orientation, the hospital team has built a close, collaborative, mutually trusting relationship with the staff at their rural county’s employment office. When a person starts recovering from a severe crisis, they are encouraged to return to work and their other normal routines and can rely on a web of support, if they so choose, in resuming or finding a job. For such contextual reasons, it is hard to know whether similar outcomes can be replicated outside of this small province of Western Lapland with people suffering similar, terrifying, symptoms elsewhere, say, in larger, socially isolating, urban environments. But it is important to find out. As stated, more research. [/QUOTE]
