Employment is the highest priority for many people with severe
mental illness and it is a central aspect of recovery. Over the
past two decades, the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model
of supported employment has emerged as the prominent evidence-based
approach to vocational rehabilitation. This comprehensive monograph
synthesizes the research and experience on IPS supported
employment: historical context, core principles, effectiveness,
long-term outcomes, non-vocational outcomes, cost-effectiveness,
generalizability, fidelity, implementation, policy, and future
research.
