A recovery orientation during brief psychiatric hospitalization focuses on improving adjustment and functioning and reducing future psychiatric crises and hospitalizations. Crisis rehabilitative skills training imparts knowledge, understanding, and abilities during a critical period of restabilization. After describing a rehabilitation oriented skills training program that occurs during brief inpatient treatment, information about its effectiveness and efficiency are examined. The preliminary data indicate rehabilitative skills training during acute inpatient crisis stabilization is an effective and economic tool for improving current functioning and reducing subsequent hospital eliciting crises. Given the promising results gathered from this project, there is a need for controlled studies. [Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention 2:315–324 (2002)]
