OBJECTIVE: Workers on sick-leave due to a mental disorder have enormous problems to return to work. The main objective of this review is to examine different return-to-work (RTW) interventions. METHODS: We conduct a systematic literature research. RESULTS: 88 articles were screened and 29 studies included. The included RTW-interventions build on different approaches: 1) individual, 2) workplace, 3) mental health services. The majority of the interventions showed positive effects on the return-to-work process. CONCLUSION: Even if not all interventions could be readily transferred to the German context, the findings indicate ways improving the transition from the mental health system to the workplace.      «
