4. To assertiveness training

Psychosocial rehabilitation helps clients readjust to community living by promoting development of necessary skills. Social skills training and job skills training programs are usually available. 1. The client does not need the more intensive services found in a day hospital. 3. Cognitive therapy will not offer the needed community living skills training. 4. Assertiveness training is only a small portion of the community living skills the client needs.
