A trial of using the Management Tool for Daily Life Performance in the rework support of psychiatric day care:

From the relation to the client of adaptation disorder

Abstract

Rework support for a client with adaptation disorders who wished to be reinstated in psychiatric daycare was provided. The client would be dismissed if she could not return within the rest period. For this reason, the rehabilitation team set an agreement goal with the client which included setting an achievement period. OT intervention focused on the Management Tool for Daily Life Performance (MTDLP) that provided multi-skills support to achieve that goal. As a result, the client was successfully reinstated within the time limit. This intervention shows the usefulness of the MTDLP in the rework support of the client within a limited period, suggesting that collaboration between the client and her family, work place, and the rehabilitation team was promoted.
