| Résumé : |
Severe mentally ill clients, especially the mentally ill clients with an addiction, are known as one of the most difficult groups to help. In this article two action research projects are described. Both projects had the aim of delivering customized care and improve the co-ordination between the involved caregivers. The action researcher worked closely together with the therapists in a circular process of action, reflection and change. The development method of case management proved to be successful and adequate to solve the action problem (adequacy is one of two criteria for the quality of an action research). The therapists became key figures in the reformation of the mental health system in the city of Groningen. The action research projects contributed to their empowerment, the second quality criterion of action research. The clients profit individually from the proceeds of the reforms. The projects did not succeed in an empowerment process of the clients. The inability to function in a group hinders such a process. |
