"Educators will find this book difficult to put down because global concepts and relationships that are hard to explain to students are spelled out with great clarity... One comes away with a good practical knowledge of OT in mental health without having to delve strenuously into obtuse conceptual theories that are difficult to put into practice."
— Kimberly A. Vogel, EdD, OTR/L, University of Texas Health Science Center, Occupational Therapy in Health Care
