Product Description
Psychiatric rehabilitation refers to community treatment of people with mental disorders. Community treatment has recently become far more widespread due to deinstitutionalization at government facilities. This book is an update of the first edition's discussion of types of mental disorders, including etiology, symptoms, course, and outcome, types of community treatment programs, case management strategies, and vocational and educational rehabilitation. Providing a comprehensive overview of this rapidly growing field, this book is suitable both as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses, a training tool for mental health workers, and a reference for academic researchers studying mental health. The book is written in an easy to read, engaging style. Each chapter contains highlighted and defined key terms, focus questions and key topics, a case study example, special sections on controversial issues of treatment or ethics, and other special features.
New topics not covered in the previous edition will include:
* Evidence-based practices as a section to each chapter
* Directions for future research at the close of each chapter
* New chapter on providing services to people with persistent mental illness and substance abuse problems
* Additional information on rehabilitation treatment via psychiatric hospitals
* A section on Wellness added to chapter 4
* Each chapter is thoroughly updated
*New chapters on supported education and integrated dual diagnosis treatment services
*Comprehensive overview of all models and approaches of psychiatric rehabilitation
*Special inserts on Evidence-Based Practices
*New content on Wellness and Recovery
*Class exercises for each chapter
*Profiles of leaders in the field
*Case study examples illustrate chapter points

 Psychiatric Rehabilitation, 2003-01-24
In reviewing this book I found it to be interesting and educational at the same time. It is not dry reading for a subject that could well be that. I will be able to use this book in my clinical practice when I graduate this summer.

Superb introduction to psychosocial rehab for new clinicians, 2001-06-14
Superb introduction to psychosocial rehabilitation. Introduces the experiece of mental illness from the client's perspecitive, covers symptoms and etiology of severe and persistent mental illness as well as treatment strategies. The book is simply written using case illustrations. I have used it for new staff at our community mental health clinic for the past 2 years. The book was popular - so popular that it disappeared and I am replacing it with several copies, one for each team. I would recommend the book as a resource for any student of a mental health program or any staff person trying to get a handle on working effectively with clients who have severe and persistent mental illness.
