Abstract

"For the vocational retraining of people who, due to a disability, are not able to remain in their previous occupation, a network of occupational rehabilitation centres was developed in Germany which take into consideration in a special way the particular needs of these people with regard to their training and care. In an empirical study in two occupational rehabilitation centres remarkable differences were discovered in the way that those affected saw the importance of their vocational retraining for their life-history. Only some of them saw their disability as themain reason for the vocational reorientation. The other people in rehabilitation in contrast gave dissatisfaction with their previous occupational development as the reason for this decision. A multitude of different patterns of target orientation can be seen in these people's future prospects regarding careers. These should be taken into account when starting the rehabilitation procedure, in the counselling of those concerned and in the decisions of the bodies providing the rehabilitation, as well as in the training and care practice in the occupational rehabilitation centres."
