The revised, updated Second Edition of this text reflects contemporary practice in occupational therapy in mental health settings and is even more comprehensive and user-friendly than the original edition. A timely new chapter focuses on special patient populations - alcohol and substance abusers; homeless persons; and persons with AIDS, eating disorders, and multiple personality disorder. Other new chapters explain the applications of DMS-III-R diagnoses to occupational therapy and describe techniques for developing patients' expressive and coping skills. All chapters from the original edition have been updated with the most recent clinical and research data and with current references. A concise study guide prepared by the author is also available from Raven Press, and should be an extremely helpful companion to the text.
