Abstract
Psychosocial/Psychiatric Rehabilitation (PSR) facilitates recovery of people with serious mental illness (SMI). Yet there is not much research on how to provide effective PSR education and training. We address PSR education and training in two relevant professions – psychiatry and occupational therapy. Further study of PSR education and training is needed.
