Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of employment discrimination against individuals with a history of schizophrenia. There are three illustrations, two of which come from Asian countries, where the discrimination tends to be more openly expressed than in the West. Maintaining competitive employment is crucially important for individuals who are recovering from schizophrenia; indeed, employment is an inherent part of recovery. The paper makes recommendations for clinicians, advocates, patients, and employers.
