Table 1.
A Level and Breadth Approach to Defining Functional Remission
| Criterion 1 |
| Level of accomplishment |
| Not actively working toward change/functional improvement |
| Making attempts—no real world success: attending vocational rehabilitation without employment; functions in locked board and care; attends social activities without participating |
| Making progress—modest real-world change: supported residence; supported part-time employment; participates in group social activities |
| Partial success—nonsupported staffed residence; part-time work or school; partially functional as a homemaker; some self-initiated individual social activities |
| Full success—independent living; full-time competitive employment or education; active social life with friends and dating |
| Criterion 2 |
| Breadth of accomplishment across functional domainsa |
| Making progress in 1 domain |
| Making progress in 2 domains |
| Making progress in 3 domains |
| Partial success in 1 domain and making progress in 1 other |
| Partial success in 1 domain and making progress in 2 others |
| Partial success in 2 domains and making progress in the other |
| Partial success in 3 domains |
| Full success in 1 domain, making progress in the 2 others |
| Full success in 1 domain and partial success in 1 other making progress in the third |
| Full success in 1 domain and partial success in 2 others |
| Full success in 2 domains and making progress in the other |
| Full success in 2 domains, partial success in another |
| Full success in 3 domains |

Functional domains are productive activities, independent living, and social.
