Abstract: Vocational rehabilitation is a focus of concern among psychiatric rehabilitation researchers in western countries. Vocational rehabilitation helps those with severe mental illness achieve and maintain jobs which supply them with a source of income, provide a source of self-esteem and identity, advance their quality of life, and facilitate them towards community re-integration. In this article, recent advances in research and practice of vocational rehabilitation are reviewed which include the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model, Work-related Social Skills Training (WSST), and the newly developed Integrated Supported Employment (ISE) service protocol. Their implications for further development in mainland China are discussed

Key words: vocational rehabilitation, supported employment, Work-related Social Skills Training, Integrated Supported Employment
