OverviewThis comprehensive, authoritative text provides a state-of-the-art review of current knowledge and best practices for helping adults with psychiatric disabilities move forward in their recovery process. The authors draw on extensive research and clinical expertise to accessibly describe the “whats,” “whys,” and “how-tos” of psychiatric rehabilitation. Coverage includes tools and strategies for assessing clients’ needs and strengths, integrating medical and psychosocial interventions, and implementing supportive services in such areas as housing, employment, social networks, education, and physical health. Detailed case examples in every chapter illustrate both the real-world challenges of severe mental illness and the nuts and bolts of effective interventions. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Patrick W.

The book demonstrates that moving a person along the recovery road requires sensitive services that take into account a wide variety of factors, including stigma and the novel concept of peer support. The emphasis is on providing culturally relevant, accessible services with active collaboration from consumers. Not only is the book built on firm evidence, but it also sifts and weighs this evidence, making it digestible and relevant to rehabilitation practitioners. Few volumes provide such added value. - Til Wykes, Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK This impressive volume, written by five leaders in the field of psychiatric rehabilitation in the US, offers a remarkable amount of good evidence, historical overview, personal accounts, and practical advice. The layout is clear and logical, the language precise. It is enjoyable and easy to read...It provides a wealth of teaching and discussion material for multidisciplinary teams. - British Journal of Hospital Medicine 'After reading this book I feel much more optimistic about the field of rehabilitation.

Rapp, PhD, School of Social Welfare, University of Kansas, USA 'A valuable addition to the psychiatric rehabilitation bookshelf, from a team of authors who have made prolific and influential contributions to the field... This text should have wide appeal to academic programs preparing mental health professionals, and to anyone interested in improving publicly funded behavioral health services.' - Patricia B. Nemec, PsyD, Rehabilitation Counseling Program, Boston University, USA 'This is an exceptionally valuable text that will facilitate a recovery model in treating mental illness. These well-known authors bring the expertise of different disciplines to the study and practice of psychiatric rehabilitation. All are major researchers in this area, so the materials are primarily evidence-based and are presented clearly and informatively, with minimal jargon. For both students and practitioners, this book offers a wealth of program models and tools that are available for a comprehensive system of rehabilitative care. Almost all conceivable resources are available here, from empirically supported interventions to family and peer supports. Specific examples in each chapter offer excellent strategies for individual case planning.' - Harriet P. Lefley, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Miami School of Medicine, USA 'The authors engender realistic, therapeutic optimism that will encourage clinicians of all disciplines to obtain training and make use of treatment manuals and modules for providing competency-based rehabilitation services. This book can be a useful guide for accelerating progress from disability to recovery through an active collaboration between patients and practitioners.' - Robert Paul Liberman, MD, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine, USA Author InformationPatrick W.
