| Abstract | This ethnographic study was conducted to better understand the roles and process of hope and occupation in the lives of adults with schizophrenia. During the course of several months, I conducted semi-structured interviews and participant observations with three men who had schizophrenia. I found that these three men distanced themselves from labeling associated with schizophrenia, preferring to be associated with their work and leisure occupations. They each had what some others in their lives considered to be high hopes. These hopes both shaped and were shaped by the occupations in which they engaged. In the face of criticism, each of them continued to pursue their hopes and revise them as necessary when they encountered obstacles. Despite debates in the hope literature about "false hopes" clients with schizophrenia would be better served by trying to understand their hopes, and helping them in the process of revising them and trying to attain them. |
