Describes the nature of the disability experienced by people with long-term schizophrenia and reviews the literature concerning work-related activities for these clients. The role and value of work-related activities in their lives is discussed. Finds that there is some evidence from the few relevant outcome studies that structured activity programmes with these clients can be beneficial in terms of reducing symptomatology and maintaining community tenure. Investigations of clients' opinions and preferences lend some support for the provision of structured activity programmes. Suggestions are made for possible further lines of inquiry.
