Table of ContentsReviewsThis is an excellent text for helping OT students realize how their OT education has applicability not only to traditional mental health settings, but to the new practice areas of criminal justice, school-based practice, substance abuse, and the military. It is especially effective in clearly illustrating how an OT can identify and address the mental health issues that frequently arise in physical dysfunctions. Peter Talty, MS, OTR/L, Professor of Occupational Therapy, Keuka College, Keuka Park, NY -This is a very well written, well organized text for the occupational therapy student. I have been teaching psycho-pathology, assessments and therapeutic approaches of wellness and psychiatric disability courses for 11 years. I have found that students generally approach this specialty area of occupational therapy with trepidation, fear and anxiety and stereotypical information. Stigma against the mentally ill is common. I am charged with teaching the truth, creating an atmosphere of comfort and understanding, and then building a students' empathic ability to see themselves as a therapeutic agent of change. Students should be able to complete their study in this domain with a solid understanding that occupational therapy treats holistically, and is focused on facilitating a clients' participation in meaningful occupation. Knowledge is power, and I believe this book will give student a thorough knowledge and the skills that will empower her to be an empathic professional who will be able to treat all clients, regardless of physical or mental illness, across the lifespan with dignity, respect and expertise.-Patricia A.
