Description
Patients with mental health concerns who are no longer treated by specialized occupational therapy units must work with therapists who
have an understanding of mental illness and how it can affect treatment. This textbook provides occupational therapists with a theoretical
framework for working with clients with mental health problems. This specifically includes children and adolescents. Key concepts are
linked directly to clinical application, making this an ideal source for students and practitioners.
