Psychosocial Rehabilitation is a comprehensive ready-
reference for mental health practitioners and students, providing
practical advice on the full range of interventions for
psychosocial rehabilitation. It contextualises the interventions
described and provides pointers to enable the reader to explore the
theory and research.
This manual recognises the wide-ranging impact of mental illness
and its ramifications on daily life, and promotes a recovery model
of psychosocial rehabilitation and aims to empower clinicians to
engage their clients in tailored rehabilitation plans. The book is
divided into five key sections.
Section 1 looks at assessment covering tools available in the
public domain, instruments, scoring systems, norms and applications
for diagnosis and measurement of symptoms, cognitive functioning,
impairment and recovery.
Section 2 covers the full range of therapeutic interventions and
offers advice on training and supervision requirements and
evaluation of process, impact and outcome.
Section 3 provides manuals and programs for interventions
effectively provided as group activities.
Section 4 explains how to design a full programme that
integrates therapeutic interventions with group programmes as well
as services provided by other agencies.
The final section looks at peer support and self help, providing
manuals and resources that support programmes and interventions not
requiring professional or practitioner direction.
