Customer Reviews

Good intro to field

"Psychiatric Rehabilitation" is a good review of the field, written at an introductory level. The books I purchased were new, and arrived in perfect condition in a timely fashion.

one of the best!

I loved everything about this book. It explains everyting very clearly and gives great examples. I brought it for school but I doubt I will sell it back!

Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Second Edition

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in learning more about PsyR! It is easy to read and includes interesting case studies to assist in the learning process.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation

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

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.
