Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This is the most comprehensive text describing the essential role of psychiatric rehabilitation in recovery-oriented mental health service delivery. The book covers a broad range of therapeutic and supportive services. Beyond skills training and individual interventions, the critical emphasis on combating stigma, increasing rights and access to resources, and advocating for equity and inclusion makes this book required reading. The text is extraordinary in its accessibility for learners at any level--especially graduate and professional students--and its relevance for courses across the mental health disciplines."

-- Mark S. Salzer, PhD, College of Public Health, Temple University, and Director, Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion

"Treatment alone is rarely sufficient to enable people who live with serious mental health conditions to achieve their goals in life. The comprehensively updated third edition of this book demonstrates the potency of psychiatric rehabilitation services and strategies for helping people achieve their goals and function in their desired community roles. The authors' focus on the principles of personhood and self-determination shines throughout."

"I have used the second edition of this text in my 400-level Community Mental Health Practice and Services course, and I am elated to see the third edition! The third edition provides a thorough overview of psychiatric rehabilitation considerations within a wide array of community public health sectors and contexts at both the micro and macro levels. It provides the reader with relevant information about the most up-to-date evidence-based practices in the field. This is a 'must-have' book for any student considering entering the field of community mental health."

"This is a valuable text for graduate-level courses in multiple disciplines that deal with assessment, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning for serious mental illness. The authors provide an accessible combination of theories, research, concrete examples, and interventions. The book's strengths-based perspective is cutting-edge, supportive, and, most important, patient focused."

Audience

This is an invaluable title for all practitioners who work with the severely mentally ill and is an excellent resource for the fields of psychiatry, psychology, community mental health, social work, rehabilitation, occupational and recreational therapy, and nursing. It provides a wealth of teaching and discussion material for multidisciplinary teams and is more than suitable as a college textbook, for graduate-level courses in multiple disciplines within the psychiatric rehabilitation system. It would be excellent curricula for students planning careers in human services.
