Abstract
Recently rehabilitation and mental health professionals have placed increased emphasis on quality of life as a service outcome for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. Research has indicated that when services are based on quality of life improvement, consumers are able to achieve higher levels of independence, satisfaction, production, and community integration. Individuals with severe and persistent mental illness completed Lehman's Quality of Life Index. Respondents were grouped based on their subjective assessment of quality of life in specific life domains. Although cluster analysis revealed that most respondents viewed quality of life as satisfactory, the heterogeneous nature of the groups suggested that it is important to view quality of life from a multifaceted perspective. The multifaceted nature of quality of life is discussed in terms of implications for rehabilitation counselors, administrators, and policy makers.
