Abstract
The community-based service for people with chronic mental disability is the thinking traced back to 1970’s. Over the next three decades, the psychiatric medical network was established. Related policy was set up to develop community psychiatric rehabilitations as well. Led by the government, the non-profit organizations also contribute a lot of effort. However, the reflection of the unsatisfied demand on individualization and variety emerged during the recent development. Clubhouse model was established in response to the reflection and demand after 2000’s to provide personal space to choose for people with mental disability. The research is dedicated to look into the mode and network of this new model and the benefits it provides to its members in terms of their recovery. The research applied qualitative research method in response to the theme. Seven members and three staffs of My House, Taipei were randomly selected as the interviewees. Participant observation was also used to collect data. The research finding focused on the interaction within My House, the interaction between My House and community, and the role My House play on the recovery of its members. First, the research indicated that in terms of its inner mode, the work-ordered day of My House is occupied with the responsibility of daily clubhouse operation. As a result, its major tasks such as enhancing self-value, promoting interpersonal interaction and cultivating work ability are limited. It’s referred to the conflict between task-oriented work and process-oriented work. Second, in its outer network, My House has developed the employment network and provides connections with other resources and information to its members. My House holds a “peaceful interaction” attitude toward its community. Finally, My House dedicated itself to the establishment of a recovery-oriented environment, self-choice, and the development of supportive network for the recovery of its members. However, it remains its major concern that how to help its members to achieve independency. Based on the findings, the researcher will provide suggestions on the improvements of the inner mode of the clubhouse, the outer network of the clubhouse, and the psychiatric rehabilitation system. Furthermore, the researcher will make recommendation on future research.
