Phenomenal Review of the Role of OT in Mental Health

Early provides an excellent, extensive review of all aspects of OT in the mental health setting. The book should be used by all OT practitioners, both OTRs and COTAs, in practice. The work defines most conditions encountered, the characteristics and behaviors of such conditions, and specific adaptations to therapeutic media, the environment, and one's attitude and conduct to best address such conditions.

A Must Have for the OT Student!!

M.B. Early is a great writer!! She makes the mental health area of OT easy to understand. She uses basic ideas and common terminology. This is a wonderful book for OT and OTA students. Early has really helped me to comprehend the mental health aspect. From an OTA student.
