Synopsis

Occupational Therapy for Child and Adolescent Mental Health is a practical textbook which provides occupational therapists working in this area with a theoretical framework for practice.

The role of the occupational therapist as part of a multidisciplinary team is emphasised throughout.

This textbook will fill a real gap in the literature for occupational therapists, students and practitioners alike. It will alsobe welcomed by members of the other health care professions in the multidisciplinary team who need to understand each others roles so that they may work together more effectively.

Written by a team of highly experienced therapists with many years of experience in the field
