Community based services for people with severe mental illness promote community integration, improved quality of life, and recovery. Psychiatric Rehabilitation provides a comprehensive overview of this rapidly growing field. The book, written in an easy-to-read, engaging style, is suitable as a textbook for both undergraduate and graduate courses, as a training tool for mental health workers, and as a reference for academic researchers studying mental health. Each chapter contains highlighted and defined key terms, focus questions and key topics, a case study example, sections on controversial issues of treatment or ethics, and other special features. An overview of major psychiatric disorders, the philosophy and principles of psychiatric rehabilitation, community based service approaches, case management strategies, and vocational and educational rehabilitation are included.
This book is designed to provide students and beginning practitioners with a thorough description of psychiatric rehabilitation (PsyR). Written by academics with many years of experience in the field, this textbook emphasizes many of the practical aspects of state-of-the-art PsyR services. Current PsyR approaches like Assertive Community Treatment, Self-Help and Family interventions are emphasized. In addition, knowing the history of important PsyR approaches will help the reader understand how and why these services take their current form.
