With this contribution I would like to give a general account of new attempts in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) to provide suitable jobs for emotionally handicapped people. It concerns jobs in enterprises on the general labour market which have been especially created for the emotionally handicapped in order to make social access possible for them. Just as certain physical changes in environment, transport, building etc. allow social access to public life for the physically disabled, the above mentioned group of people need certain social places which take their special needs into account.
