Compendium of Activities for Assessing and Developing Readiness for Rehabilitation Services
 Edited by Mikal Cohen and Dean Mynks in consultation
with John Sheets and David Bucciferro
This compendium is a collection of activities for assessing and developing a person's desire to participate in rehabilitation services. It was designed for use with persons with long-term psychiatric disabilities in psychiatric centers or outpatient settings (e.g., continuing day treatment and intensive psychiatric rehabilitation treatment programs). Each activity is outlined in a step-by-step fashion.
The compendium was developed from activities designed by the psychiatric rehabilitation teams in the New York State psychiatric centers following a five-year transformation process undertaken by the New York State Office of Mental Health to infuse their mental health system with the philosophy and technology of psychiatric rehabilitation.
