Reviews

Once again, Theresa has shared her depth of knowledge and practical strategies in an accessible way for occupational therapists at all levels of their practice. Having used the first manual, Coping Strategies to Promote Occupational Engagement and Recovery (McNamara & Straathof, 2017), for several years in our practice, our group of occupational therapists is excited to see this next volume with even more relevant, useful guides for group and individual coping session delivery. The handouts are easy for occupational therapists to sort and select, and easy for clients to read and understand; a recipe for success across many clinical environments. -Fiona Smith Bradley, OT Reg, occupational therapist, partner, Modern OT, Ottawa, ON An excellent follow-through from the first book. The modules are well thought out and beautifully presented. A very potent tool box for Mental Health in-patients and for Day Hospitals. Easily adaptable to individual therapy. The suicide prevention and anger management modules alone are worth the cover price. -Keith Anderson, MD, FRCP(C) The step wise approach based on adult learning principles makes this book extremely easy to refer to, to use with clients and guarantees benefits for them, as it always leads to identifiable and observable changes in behaviours. The links made between cognitive-behavioural principles and various occupational therapy concepts brings an innovative aspect to client care and gives a very unique OT lens to the book. The handouts are user friendly, well done and straight to the point. They are clear, concrete, and link to meaningful behavior change and participation-based examples. This book will be a very useful resource for occupational therapists working in adult mental health and community-based workers needing resources for people with severe mental illness. -Suzanne Rouleau, OT, MSc, occupational therapist-psychotherapist, assistant-professor, Occupational Therapy program, McGill University Theresa's book is an invaluable resource for Occupational Therapists and other care providers. It provides clear and practical modules, including learning plans and activities, covering many key coping strategies. Theresa's modules have become an integral part of the treatment for many of my patients as they strive for improved mental health and wellness. - Gary Kay, MD, FRCPC, staff psychiatrist and inpatient director, The Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus This book is an essential expansion from the previous Coping Strategies to Promote Occupational Engagement and Recovery : A Program Manual for Occupational Therapists and Other Care Providers. The modules' structure makes the content accessible to care providers regardless of experience level. The details help to build the care provider's confidence and enables pre-application preparation. I have found that the functional real-life examples are relatable to clients from diverse backgrounds, and with cultural humility can be applied to a variety of contexts. In my previous work as a mental health nurse in a remote Northern indigenous community I used the modules daily. I received feedback that the worksheets were valuable, often-referenced takeaways. The practical modules in this book successfully translate abstract concepts into actionable, client-centered plans. I look forward to using this book in future practice and am sure it will be an indispensable resource for many care providers. -Marley Pickles White, RN
