Abstract
Despite a growing amount of literature concerning the success of supported employment initiatives in enabling people with mental health problems to work successfully in open employment (Bond et al, 1997), less attention has been paid to the type of support people might require. Rachel Perkins and her colleagues explore this issue from the perspective of the Pathfinder User Employment project. (See An act to follow, in: A life in the day 2 (1) 1998.)
