Develop the psychosocial skills to treat and address the mental health needs of clients in all practice settings! Psychosocial Occupational Therapy, 2^nd Edition, uses evidence-based models to demonstrate effective occupational therapy for clients diagnosed with mental health conditions. Clearly and logically organized, the book begins with theories and concepts and follows with in-depth coverage of OT interventions in both individual and group contexts. Case studies and models show how to apply the fourth edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) in selecting treatment strategies.

"...a concise, informative title of current occupational therapy theory and practice for collaborating with individuals with mental health concerns.... serves a unique purpose in the world of mental health books for Occupational Therapy Practitioners (OTPs)....

It also covers a thorough review of therapeutic use of self with practical responses, and group dynamics and process, the bedrock of much of psychosocial occupational therapy intervention.... focuses on four main approaches, which align with current best practice and supporting evidence: occupation-centered, psychosocial, cognitive approaches, and sensory modulation. These focus areas are described in a manner that allows them to be applied in any practice setting,... also includes chapters on current practice considerations including pediatric mental health with a section on school-based occupational therapy and trauma-informed care.
