My choice of topic would be to explore what clinical teams can do during inpatient admissions to facilitate vocational recovery into competitive, not sheltered employment, and not into voluntary activities and other things to just keep the patient occupied. IPS programs are usually made available to outpatients, but much can be done from first admission. A good masters topic would be to investigate what happens to patients that were working or studying prior to admission, and whether efforts were made early enough to preserve these activities as goals for recovery. Most inpatient teams concern themselves with non-vocational recovery goals to support social skills, recreation, and independent living. But this is stigmatised by an unstated assumption that patients don't need vocational goals as they will never be employed again. How is that for a topic. I am happy to help further if you are interested. Cheers, Geoff.
