IPS is an evidence-based and manualized variant of Supported Employment.
The method was developed within psychiatry in the USA in the 1980s. In the early 1990s, interest in IPS was sparked in Sweden, and the method is currently used in several different settings, not least in psychiatry, harmful use and addiction, and in settings where integrated collaboration with the healthcare system is possible.
The basic idea within IPS is to view work as an important part of a person's recovery, development, and identity. In psychiatry, the approach today has the highest priority, priority 1, according to the guidelines of the National Board of Health and Welfare.
This lecture is aimed at those who are curious about IPS, who are about to start working using the method, or who may come into contact with IPS as part of their assignment and role.
