Customer Reviews

Great comprehensive OT mental health textbook!

I purchased this book for a psychosocial OT class this past semester and was thrilled with the overall content. The authors of the textbook really thought out what an OT practitioner should know about the diagnosis, evaluation, and intervention process for an OT mental health setting. The authors did a wonderful job. I HIGHLY recommend this book for any seasoned OT and especially an OT student who will be doing a Mental health fieldwork rotation---I know I will be bringing this text to my OT MH afflilation in January, 07. Great textbook--you will not be disappointed.

Great reference for psychopathology

We're using this book as our text for a psychopathology class. It's really easy to read, is concise, and it offers logical & pratical OT interventions for each dx presented. Even OT students who have already completed a course in abnormal psych will find that this book is relevent and useful.
