| Summary |
"Individuals with severe mental illness face a variety of challenges that can impede their functioning in independent living, work, relationships, and other domains. This comprehensive volume reviews current knowledge and best practices for helping adults with psychiatric disabilities to move forward in their recovery process and pursue important life goals. All aspects of psychiatric rehabilitation are addressed, from conceptual and empirical foundations to exemplary program models." "Part I examines the nature of psychiatric disabilities, including ways in which psychological symptoms interact with contextual factors to produce barriers in people's lives. A strengths-based framework for rehabilitation practice is provided. Part II, the largest section, offers in-depth discussions of specific service approaches. Presented are strategies for assessing clients' needs and resources; integrating medical and psychosocial treatment; and implementing supportive interventions in such areas as housing, employment, social networks, and education. In Part III, chapters focus on how to meet the needs of clients who are also struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, criminal justice involvement, aggressive behavior, or physical health problems. Finally, Part IV covers policy issues and reflects on how to develop more inclusive, empowering services. Throughout the volume, many concrete examples illustrate both the realities of living with chronic mental illness and the characteristics of effective interventions." "This book belongs on the desks of students, clinicians, and researchers in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, nursing, occupational therapy, and related fields. It is an ideal text for graduate-level courses in psychiatric rehabilitation, severe mental illness, and community mental health."--BOOK JACKET |
