Abstract: BACKGROUND:While considerable research has been conducted on employment of people with serious mental illness (SMI), there is a dearth of research in this area focused on the work experiences of women with SMI. OBJECTIVE:This article fills a gap in the research by presenting the results from a study exploring the work experiences of women with SMI. METHODS:Grounded theory methodology was used to analyze the qualitative data. Several qualitative validity strategies were employed to enhance data quality. RESULTS:Six themes relating to work emerged from analysis of the qualitative data: (1) work drain; (2) symptom visibility; (3) work disclosure; (4) inconsistent work; (5) nontraditional work; and (6) work assets. CONCLUSIONS:Vocational rehabilitation practitioners can tailor rehabilitation plans to support the unique needs of women with SMI and leverage their strengths to help them gain greater satisfaction and meaning from work.
