Review

"Psychiatric Rehabilitation provides a comprehensive overview of community based services for people with severe mental illness. Written in an easy-to-read, engaging style, Psychiatric Rehabilitation is ideal as a textbook for both undergraduate and graduate courses, as a training tool for mental health workers, and as a reference for academic research in the field of mental health. Each chapter contains highlighted and defined key terms, focus question, key topics, a case study example, and sections on controversial issues of treatment or ethics. Also provided are an overview of major psychiatric disorders, the philosophy and principles of psychiatric rehabilitation, community based service approaches, case management strategies, vocational and educational rehabilitations. Psychiatric Rehabilitation serves as the ideal introduction for students and non-specialist general readers to an important aspect of psychiatric services."

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb introduction to psychosocial rehab for new clinicians, June 13, 2001

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Psychiatric Rehabilitation, January 23, 2003

By	Irene E Werth (Ellsworth, KS United States) - See all my reviews

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.
