A Study on Effective Promotion of Assertive Community Treatment Program

在现行制度下，受试者小组与多个组织合作实施了ACT项目，作者介绍了疾病管理和康复（IMR）、家庭支持和支持就业，以明确有效的实践方法。结果表明，心理教育，如IMR，是有益的。然而，在日本，只有少数工作人员接受过认知行为疗法、动机访谈技巧和其他必要技能的培训，以利用这些项目。因此，未来需要开发易于使用的工具，并为日本员工提供更多的机会和更好的监督实践学习环境。还表明，与单个小组独立工作的情况相比，几个ACT小组与福利服务办公室合作可以增加成功就业。

The subject teams implemented an ACT program in collaboration with several organizations under the current system, authors introduced illness management and recovery (IMR), family support, and supported employment to clarify the effective method of practice. The result showed psychological education, such as IMR, was beneficial. However, in Japan, only a few working staff are trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, and other necessary skills to utilize those programs. Therefore, in the future, it will be required to develop easy-to-use tools as well as to provide Japanese staff with more opportunities and better environment for supervised practical learning. It was also demonstrated that increase in successful employment was achieved when several ACT teams cooperated with a welfare service office compared to the case when single team worked independently.
