 In this module, we provide a framework for guiding
rehabilitation assessment focused around:
- broad (often unmet) needs
- recovery
- reducing barriers to participation in ordinary daily community
living.
We also emphasise the importance of considering risk and other
challenging behaviours which may limit participation.
This module offers guidance
on:
- what the purpose of assessment should be in this
difficult-to-treat group and key questions to ask, the process of
assessment and a model for guiding this process
- adopting a broad approach to assessing need and the context of
what promotes mental health
- the assessment of symptoms from a rehabilitation perspective,
relevant physical health assessments and the importance of
providing ongoing assessment in collaboration with primary care
services
- recovery and engagement issues for people with
treatment-resistant psychosis, and assessing risk and challenging
behaviours in rehabilitation populations
- an approach to formulation and making the best use of
assessment findings and a method for achieving realistic goal
planning.
