Description
An extensive collection of readings presenting current thinking, research, and practice of psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery by prominent contributors in the field.
Readings in Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Recovery is an updated version of the original Readings in Psychiatric Rehabilitation book. It was conceived and organized as a supplemental book of readings to further explore the concepts, philosophy, and practices presented by textbooks in psychiatric rehabilitation, including the book by Anthony, Cohen, Farkas, and Gagne, Psychiatric Rehabilitation. It is an excellent resource for students of psychiatric rehabilitation, professionals, consumers, and advocates—or for anyone interested in understanding the needs of persons with psychiatric disabilities. It can be used as an academic textbook as an introduction to the field of psychiatric rehabilitation.
